The family reading workshop for middle-school students and their parents at 6 p.m. Thursday, March 6, in the Hillard Middle-Senior High School cafetorium will be held as originally scheduled.

School officials announced earlier today that the event would have to be cancelled, but later found out the seminar would proceed after all.

The workshop, "Mysteries in the Middle," for its middle-school students and their parents and guardians, will be at 6 p.m. Thursday in the school cafetorium.

The interactive program will include a "Hollywood soundstage" theme where parents and students watch and take part in the mock filming of a preteen movie thriller.

Those attending will learn a set of key reading and mental strategies employed by successful readers.

The classroom with the highest attendance will be treated to a pizza party.

RSVP to the school at 845-2171.
