At Salida Elementary we believe in the importance of literacy; the ability to read, write, speak and listen in a way that lets us communicate effectively and make sense of the world.  Reading is the foundation of learning and the doorway to success. There is no better gift we can give to our children than the ability to read. Library time gives students a chance to listen, engage and read with one another. The library also ensures that your child will always have a book available for them to read and teaches the responsibility of bringing back that book every week. I look forward to sharing my love of reading and learning with your children!
