Family Literacy Day

Family Literacy Day takes place every January 27th to raise awareness about the importance of reading and engaging in other literacy-related activities as a family.

Family Literacy Day 2025 Theme is "Learn to be Green, Together"  
Make a pledge as a family to learn ways to be more green. Use less electricity, commute together, and reuse items. Being green together is a fun way to learn as a family while being kind to the environment.

SPL is so excited about Family Literacy Day that we are making it a week long event!
