Timber Ridge Literacy fair slated for April 25

In an effort to promote literacy in the school and its surrounding community, Timber Ridge Middle School will host a Literacy Fair on Tuesday, April 25, from 5-7 p.m. A variety of activities will be available for attendants of all ages.

The night will include free popcorn, compliments of the school's Parent-Teacher Organization, and raffles for free items. Attractions will include a book swap, a book walk with prizes, a dramatic excerpt from "Annie" (playing at Timber Ridge this month), a book fair sponsored by Teams 7/8C, and "The Uncoffeehouse," which will highlight student poetry.

Additionally, chess and sudoku tournaments will be held, roaming minstrels will perform musical selections, and there will be an opportunity to learn sign language.

Timber Ridge, one of five middle schools in Plainfield Community Consolidated School District 202, is located at 2101 Bronk Road in Plainfield.
