Happy Read Across America Week! 📖❤️

This week (March 2–6, 2026), we celebrate the joy of reading, the power of storytelling, and the lifelong opportunities that literacy creates for our students.

Across our schools, classrooms will be filled with guest readers, themed spirit days, book character celebrations, and plenty of time spent turning pages and growing imaginations. Whether it’s a picture book in kindergarten or a novel discussion in high school, every page matters.

We encourage families to join the celebration at home — read together, talk about favorite books, and help us continue building a strong culture of literacy in our community.
