The Family Reading Committee encourages literacy in the School District of Holmen. The goal is to heighten awareness of the family’s crucial role in literacy development, thereby stimulating more family literacy initiatives.
Each year the committee hosts a Family Literacy Night event where we invite area families to enjoy family-friendly entertainment, snacks, and the chance to choose a book for each child preschool aged through fifth grade. All community members with preschool through fifth are encouraged to participate in the event. This evening is second to none in the area and we are proud of those who go the extra mile to promote family literacy here in Holmen.
In addition to the Family Literacy Night event, the committee donates new books to Giving Tree families for their children from 0-18. This event takes place in November or December of each year and the committee donates upwards of 250 books during the holiday season.
Watch for our upcoming event in late Fall of 2024!
