FRANKFORD — John M. Clayton Elementary School celebrated its first family literacy program of the academic year Nov. 28.
Families joined teachers on Monday nights for eight weeks to complete ¡Listo!, a Latino initiative that invites students to receive homework help or play educational games, while their parents attend class to learn bilingual literacy skills that support their child’s education.
The program was successful because of teacher volunteers and donations. Each week, families enjoyed meals donated by community members, including Kevin and Camilla Conlon of Selbyville and Joe Aquilla of Frankford. In addition, Mountaire Farms donated goody bags to each child, and each was given a winter jacket by the Knights of Columbus of the Parish of St. Ann.
