Valley Stream District 13 kicks off family week with pajamas

Valley Stream District 13 recently participated in Family Week which highlighted family and literacy. Family Week began with a special “Pajamas and Pages” event that brought together students and families for a cozy evening of reading and bonding.

Families were invited to wear their favorite pajamas and bring a book to share. The event started with a heartwarming whole-group reading session under the stars, where students, teachers, and families gathered to enjoy a story together. Following the group reading, students and their families had the opportunity to relax and read their books in their pajamas.

In addition to “Pajamas and Pages”, schools throughout the district also celebrated with a “Gift of Reading” daily celebration. Each day during the week, a new book was revealed to students through a read-aloud session at school. Families were invited to join in the fun by participating in the read-aloud through ParentSquare each evening. These activities aim to foster a love of reading and promote the joy of spending quality time together as a family
