Mariemont Elementary celebrates literacy, culture and family connection

Families at Mariemont Elementary School recently came together for the school's first Multicultural Literacy Night, an evening that celebrated the many ways reading can bring people and cultures together.

The event featured a special storytime with children's author Dr. JaNay Brown-Wood, opportunities to connect with local literacy organizations and interactive activities that encouraged families to embrace reading in every language and culture.

By bringing together books, storytelling and community resources, Multicultural Literacy Night helped students and families see themselves reflected in literacy while reinforcing that every language, culture and story has value.

Watch the video below to learn more about the event and hear how it helped students and families feel seen, supported and inspired to read together.
