Matthew Paterson Elementary School

As you are aware, our school as well as the two other elementary schools in Carmel are taking part in a special, community wide shared reading event. Every family and staff member will receive a copy of the same book, The Year of Billy Miller by Kevin Henkes. Families will be asked to read it together at home over the next few weeks.  

Parents should please read each chapter to their children according to the schedule below. Videos of our special staff members reading each chapter will be posted at 9 a.m. each school day according to the schedule below. Be on the lookout to see who will be reading!
