Students
celebrate love for reading with some help from school
officials, staff and our community
May
2008—On May 8, Chorley Elementary School hosted its annual Bookies & Cookies
Celebration where readers from the school, district, and
from the community came and shared their love of
reading with students.
Kindergarten and first
graders were treated to
cookies and juice while readers shared their favorite
selections throughout the day. Afterwards, Chorley students
got to try their hand at writing by
creating their
very own book.
School raises
nearly $2,000 for Pasta for Pennies program
May
2008—Chorley Elementary School raised almost $2,000 for
Pasta for Pennies—a
national fundraising program
in partnership with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
More than two million
elementary, middle, and high school students participate
nationally each year, bringing in their spare change and
donations to benefit the Society. The class raising the most
in each school is then rewarded by Olive Garden
with a pasta party.
Chorley students will be
headed to our local Olive Garden on May 20. Way to go!

read
at the Great New York Read-Aloud
APRIL
2008—Kindergarten and first graders participated in the
the Great New York Read-Aloud held April 16 at
the Orange-Ulster BOCES Center in Goshen.
Schools from throughout the
area sent their best readers to the event according to
Karen
Cierniak,
the school's librarian. Selected Chorley students read
various poems about animals before an audience of nearly
200 people and worked hard prior to the event practicing
poems with
Cierniak, which
paid off!
"Chorley school is proud
of our star readers," Cieriniak said.
The event is a
celebration of reading that is held annually during
National Library Week. Participating students received a
certificate and new books courtesy of BOCES.
Way to donate! Chorley
