Celebrating Creativity and Learning at Jalaram Academy's Book Week Event Finale

This week has been an exhilarating journey at Jalaram Academy as students and teachers united to celebrate the joy of reading during our annual Book Week event. From engaging activities to a vibrant display of books, the week will conclude with an unforgettable finale today.

The event kicked off on Monday with a lively display and sale of books organized by a dedicated team from Text Book Center Kisumu. The atmosphere was electric as students explored a diverse selection of titles, discovering new stories and characters. This initiative not only encouraged greater reading habits among students but also nurtured a strong sense of community as friends/buddies gathered to share their love for literature. During the book sale, an impressive number of the available titles were sold, demonstrating the enthusiasm of our reading community.

Today signifies the culmination of our Book Week festivities, and the energy in the air is unmatched. Students arrived dressed as their favorite characters from the books that inspired them throughout the week. The hallways buzzed with colorful costumes, each one narrating a unique story. This celebration of imagination not only showcases the characters that have shaped their journeys but also cultivates a sense of belonging and friendship among students.

The grand finale is set to take place in the school's main hall at 10:30 AM, where students will share their stories and reflect on the valuable lessons learned from their readings. This sharing session is a core highlight of the event, enabling students to express themselves and inspire their peers. Witnessing the development and growth of each individual through literature fills both teachers and students with immense pride. Last year, students reported feeling more confident in their storytelling abilities after participating in this session.

As the event wraps up, it’s crucial to acknowledge the significant impact Book Week has had on our students. Besides encouraging a lifelong love for reading, it has also enhanced critical thinking, creativity, and communication skills. The stories shared today will continue to resonate long after the festivities end, igniting a passion for literature that will last a lifetime.
