The month of November at Sumalo Integrated School was not just a regular month; it
was a celebration of the National Reading Month. The school kicked off the festivities
on November 7 with a spirited ceremony during the flag-raising ceremony, setting
the stage for a month-long celebration dedicated to the love of reading.

One of the highlight events during the National Reading Month celebration was the
Mystery Reader sessions. The Elementary department was graced by the presence
of the enigmatic Hanna Aligarbes, who brought stories to life, captivating the young
minds with her animated storytelling. Meanwhile, in the High School department,
Mrs. Josephine Avanceña took on the role of the mysterious reader, enthralling the
students with her choice of literature.

The celebration continued with a remarkable performance by Grade 10-Xenon in a

Speech Choir competition. The students showcased their talent and enthusiasm for
literature through a harmonious blend of spoken words and expressive movements.
The Speech Choir left the audience in awe, emphasizing the importance of literature
not only in reading but also in performance and expression.

The National Reading Month at Sumalo Integrated School was not just about
listening to stories; it was a holistic approach to promoting literacy. Students
engaged in various activities, such as the "Project DEAR" (Drop Everything and
Read), where everyone in the school took a moment to pause and immerse
themselves in the world of books. Additionally, the school promoted peer tutoring,
encouraging older students to assist their younger counterparts in developing strong
reading skills.

The National Reading Month celebration at Sumalo Integrated School was a

resounding success, fostering a love for reading that goes beyond the pages of a
book. Through engaging activities, mystery readers, and expressive performances,
students were not only encouraged to read but also to appreciate the power of words
and storytelling. The celebration served as a reminder that literacy is not just a skill; it
is a gateway to imagination, knowledge, and lifelong learning.
