📚 Read Across America Week is Coming! 🇺🇸

We are excited to celebrate Read Across America Week next week, March 2–6! This nationwide initiative, led by the National Education Association, encourages children to read and develop a lifelong love of books.

Throughout the week, students may participate in special reading activities, themed dress-up days, guest readers, and classroom celebrations — all designed to make reading fun and engaging!

Read Across America is traditionally celebrated around March 2 in honor of Dr. Seuss’s birthday, while also highlighting diverse books and helping every child discover stories they enjoy.

We encourage families to join the celebration by setting aside extra reading time at home. Even 15–20 minutes a day can make a big difference!

We can’t wait to celebrate a wonderful week of reading together! 📖✨
