5 Things Nov 13: WHDH - TV's Meteorologist Jeremy Reiner to visit Cottage Street Elementary School today.

Did you know that November is Family Literacy Month?

 

1. The Cottage Street School gets a visit from WHDH-TV's Meteorologist Jeremy Reiner who will bring wealth of knowledge and experience in weather forecasting back home to New England. A native of the Berkshires, Jeremy has always been fascinated with the New England climate. Whether it was a raging nor'easter or a chilly sea breeze in April, Jeremy loved it all. So much so, that he attended Lyndon State college in Vermont where he received a B.S. degree in meteorology in 1993.

2. There's Family Literacy Roundtable at the Sharon Public Library from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. This program is open to librarians and library workers. November is Family Literacy month.

Participants can bring their family literacy program successes and ideas to the table. Location: Cynthia B. Fox Community Room. Contact: Danielle Margarida dmargarida@ocln.org
