Huth Rd Elementary - Student Book Talks

Beskrivelse

We are launching a brand-new series on the Inspiring Viking Values podcast—Book Talks! Each installment centers on student voice, authentic literature-circle discussion, and the joy of reading for understanding. In this episode we are featuring the librarian and four students at Huth Rd Eelementary School. Special Guests Principal, Max Pikula, Librarian, Freda Orosz, and students Hannah, Louise, Michael, Lincoln, and Astrid. This episode reminds us that students are not passive readers. They analyze motives, weigh ethical dilemmas, draw parallels to their world, and let literature sharpen who they’re becoming. Book Talks is not just about reading it’s about voice, identity, and discovering the agency to make meaning. https://www.grandislandschools.org/ Twitter - @GrandIsland CSD Instagram - @GRANDISLANDSCHOOLDISTRICT Facebook - GRANDISLANDSCHOOLDISTRICT

Grand Island CSD and Tonawanda City Schools: From Well-Baby Visits to a Love of Reading: The Growing Readers Story

In this episode of Inspiring Viking Values, we highlight one of the Grand Island Central School District’s and Tonawanda City School District's most meaningful early literacy initiatives: Growing Readers. Launched in 2018, this community-based effort helps place free books into the hands of families during well-baby visits, encouraging parents and caregivers to begin reading aloud to their children from the very start. This conversation explores how early literacy, strong family connections, and community collaboration can work together to build a lasting love of reading in young children. Our guests discuss the origins of the initiative, the importance of reaching families before children enter school, and the powerful role that schools, pediatricians, libraries, Rotary, and community partners play in supporting language development and literacy. Featured guests include Cheryl Cardone, Assistant Superintendent for Pupil Personnel Services for the Grand Island Central School District; Stephanie Anderson, principal; Maureen Roussi, early childhood educator; Faye Teluk, President of the Grand Island Rotary Club; Sarah Infante, Assistant Superintendent for the Tonawanda City School District; and Bridgette Heintz, Librarian Director II at the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library branch on Grand Island. Together, they reflect on why investing in babies, toddlers, and families is one of the smartest and most hopeful things a community can do. https://www.grandislandschools.org/ Twitter - @GrandIsland CSD Instagram - @GRANDISLANDSCHOOLDISTRICT Facebook - GRANDISLANDSCHOOLDISTRICT
