As many know, reading week is something that has been going on for many years and is a great way to get students more involved and more interested with reading books.
Dexter Public Schools have always been very involved with reading week and encouraging their students to pick up books; not only during that week, but throughout the rest of their lives.
The students have been enjoying activities all week while having guests and even “celebrity” readers come into their classrooms and share a book with them.
Today, however, a very special act went down as Mayor Weber visited some Southwest Elementary students and gladly signed the Reading Week Proclamation. Present at the time of signing were: Katy Tarbutton-Southwest Elementary, April Aldridge-Central Elementary, and a handful of Southwest students are shown in the photo as Mayor Weber signs the proclamation.
We hope the students of Dexter Public Schools have enjoyed their reading week!
Provided below is a copy of the proclamation.

Students at Southwest Elementary are continuing to enjoy reading week this week. As mentioned in a previous article, the theme is “Vote for a Good Book.”
Many young students are enjoying having guest readers come in the class and read a book to them. Students continue to vote for their favorite books this week as America voted on many issues earlier in the week.
Today one of the guest readers was Caitlyn Alsup who enjoyed coming into the classroom and reading a book to her little brother’s class. They are pictured in the photo to the left.
The students are enjoying reading week as it continues to persuade students into reading more books and enjoying it when they do so!
We hope the students have a great Friday tomorrow as they wrap up all the activities of "Vote for a Good Book" reading week. Hopefully they will be ready to dive into their next book!
ShowMe Times would like to encourage all our readers to get involved with our public schools.
The upcoming activities are posted weekly in hopes of encouraging more people to get involved in the academic and athletic growth of our school system.
