OUR VISION

Del Norte Community Schools create strong relationships between families and partners to empower students with safe, inclusive, and culturally rich experiences.

Reader Theatre — Family Literacy Night

Cinder… Really, the True Story of Cinderella, was performed by students of Ms. Nunez’s third grade class. Families also got involved with the costumes, props and set design.
Ms. Taggart’s first graders performed Stone Soup.
The evening’s theme was centered around building strong readers. Beth Quetschke, the new Director of the Del Norte County Library, gave a presentation and free books to students.
Families enjoyed a free dinner and prize drawing for board games too.
