PARP is excited to share another journey of literature and reading with children this year. Our theme for the 2023-24 school year will be "Choose Your Own Adventure," reflecting the wonderful array of stories and experiences readers of all ages can find within the covers of every book. We look forward to bringing you exciting programming and reading events throughout the year -- both in person and virtually. Be on the lookout for more information and our official kickoff!
PARP is a National PTA program designed to foster the love of reading. The primary goal of PARP is to promote childhood literacy by asking parents or caregivers to set aside time each day to read with their child. PARP encourages programs during the school year that supports reading and participation of children, caregivers, teachers, administrators, school staff and the community by reinforcing the pursuit of reading for enjoyment.
The committee works closely with building administrators and teachers in our K-5 schools. This Committee has Committee Chairperson(s) and School Building Representatives.

Join PARP for a virtual author visit with Ganit and Adir Levy, authors of the best selling “What Should Danny Do?” and “What Should Darla Do?” interactive book series.
These wonderful books aim to “teach children that no matter what happens, it is our choice how we react. And the consequences of the choices we make will shape our days and lives into what they will become.”
Join the PTA PARP committee at the Garden City Library on Tuesday, February 6, at 6:30 pm for an in-person special event designed for Pre-K through 5th grade students.
Children will listen to a reading of The Invisible String by author Patrice Karst. This best-selling book series teaches children that "you're always connected to everyone you love" by an invisible string “you can’t see it with your eyes but can feel in your heart." It's the perfect message for kids to hear just before Valentine's Day!
After the reading, kids can participate in a craft event to make friendship bracelets they can wear and share with the people they love.
