Registration is still open for an early literacy event happening on Monday afternoon.

Roseburg Schools is inviting area families with children ages 2 to 4 to register for “Bringing Stories to Life”, taking place from 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at Rose Elementary School on Southeast Roberts Avenue. A district release said it will be a fun family time of exploring literacy through play, featuring hands on stations, interactive storytelling and simple activities that families can replicate at home.

Director of Teaching and Learning Dr. Jill Weber said, “The reality is that 4 out of 5 Roseburg children starting kindergarten need intensive support to reach reading proficiency”. Weber said, “This is why it’s essential to partner with families now to ensure every child has the strongest possible start”.

Refreshments will be provided, and each family will receive take-home books and materials. Those with questions about the event can contact Roseburg Schools Primary Literacy Support & Early Learning Facilitator Tatum Stedman at: tstedman@roseburg.k12.or.us
