Our Lady of the River School will be participating in the National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS) annual event on Wednesday May 19.  The NSS aims to engage children of all ages to enjoy books by creating a sense of excitement around reading. Reading ignites a spark of adventure that a child can carry within their heart well into their adult life.  At Our Lady of the River School we value the skills of literacy this is promoted through this vibrant and fun event.
