Teen Read Week Proclamation signed by Board of Selectmen on October 3, 2006
Proclamation
-
WHEREAS, the ability to read
and process information is a basic survival skill in our global information
society; and
-
WHEREAS, the reading
proficiency of teens has remained stagnant over the last thirty years; and
-
WHEREAS, the number of
students who can read but choose not to do so is increasing; and
-
WHEREAS, the most effective
way to improve reading skills is to read regularly and often; and
-
WHEREAS, too few teens think
reading is a valuable tool for enjoyment and relaxation as well as for
schoolwork; and
-
WHEREAS, regular daily
reading for the fun of it creates the reading habit for life; and
-
WHEREAS, parents, teachers,
librarians, and all concerned adults can serve as role models by reading for
fun themselves;
-
NOW THEREFORE, We the Board
of Selectmen in the Town of Boxford, do hereby proclaim
October 15-21, 2006
As
Teen Read Week TM
in the Town of Boxford and encourage teens to read for the fun of it.
