At Fairmont Elementary School, the month of March holds special significance for the first-grade classrooms through the annual “Mystery Readers” tradition—an initiative that fosters literacy development and enhances home-to-school connections in an engaging and meaningful manner.
Throughout the month, parents and family members are invited to visit the classroom and serve as surprise guest readers, sharing short stories with students during a designated storytime. The identity of each guest remains a secret until the moment they enter the room, adding an element of surprise and delight that heightens students’ anticipation and enthusiasm for reading.
This longstanding tradition not only cultivates a love for literature among young learners but also provides families with a unique opportunity to take an active role in the educational experience. The “Mystery Readers” program continues to be a highly anticipated event each year, celebrated by students, families, and staff alike for its joyful impact on the classroom community.
