Reading Day Celebration at Mary Matha Public School– Inspiring a Love for Books!

Date: June 19, 2025

Location: [Your School Name], [City/Location]

On the occasion of National Reading Day, [Your School Name] proudly celebrated a day dedicated to promoting the joy and importance of reading among students. The event, held on June 19, commemorated the life and contributions of P.N. Panicker, the father of the library movement in Kerala.

The celebration began with a special morning assembly where students shared inspiring quotes about reading and storytelling. Our principal, [Principal’s Name], delivered an enlightening speech highlighting the significance of books in shaping young minds and building a strong foundation for lifelong learning.

A variety of engaging activities were organized across all grades, including:

Book Reading Sessions: Teachers and students read aloud from their favorite books.

Poster Making & Slogan Writing Competitions on the theme “Read and Grow”.

Library Treasure Hunt to encourage students to explore the school library.

Storytelling Hour where students narrated short stories they had written themselves.

The highlight of the day was the “Drop Everything and Read” campaign, where the entire school paused for 20 minutes to read a book of their choice—fostering a shared moment of quiet reading.

The event successfully ignited curiosity and excitement around books, encouraging students to make reading a regular part of their lives. As [English Teacher/Librarian’s Name] said, “Reading opens up new worlds. It’s not just a habit, it’s a superpower.”

We thank all the teachers and student volunteers for making the day memorable. Let’s continue turning pages and discovering new adventures through books!
