Watkins MS Literacy Initiative

Many Watkins staff members dressed as Diary of a Wimpy Kid characters on the literacy initiative kickoff, Bulldogs Love Books.

Watkins MS kicked off its literacy initiative, Bulldogs Love Books (BLB), by inviting all staff members to dress as a book character or superhero (per the “What is your superpower?” theme). The instructional team united as Diary of A Wimpy Kid characters, and all over campus appearances were made by wide range of young adult novel characters as well as some elementary classics. 

The casts of Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Walt Disney and Dr. Seuss were all visible throughout the day. Watkins hopes to inspire students to be lifelong readers, learners and leaders through this literacy initiative. 

Characters ranging from Harry Potter to The Hunger Games and Dr. Seuss made their presence known around campus during the Watkins MS literacy initiative.
