In two weeks, the National English Honor Society will be hosting its annual literacy week. The goal of literacy week is to promote literacy and excellent reading habits in the students of Florida. Reading and writing is fundamental to function in today’s society which is why countries from all over the world participate in literacy week in hopes to raise awareness. It takes place every year during the last week of January and each day is celebrated with a different activity. This year the Honor Society has put together dress up days for the whole week as well as lunch time activities for the students and faculty to participate in.
