Description

Read Across America is coming soon, and we're looking for volunteer readers.

National Read Across America Day was established by the National Education Association (NEA) to motivate children and teens to read through events, partnerships, and reading resources. The event occurs each year on March 2nd, the birthday of beloved children’s book author Dr. Seuss, and students, teachers, parents, and community members around the nation come together to read books and celebrate the joy of reading. Any assistance that you are willing and able to provide will be greatly appreciated!
 

This event will take place on March 2, 2023, from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. When responding to this need, please let us know what timeframe you're available to read on the 2nd.

Volunteers may bring their own grade/age/topic/length-appropriate books to read aloud, or utilize the books that will be available for check-out in the library media center. The school library is located near the front entrance and can be seen from the front door. For read-alouds, picture books that are not too wordy work best. Also, volunteers are welcome to dress up as elementary grade appropriate book characters if they'd like, but that isn't required.

Important note: Parking is available in the front of the school and in the staff parking lot. If volunteers park in the front, they need to be aware of the School's dismissal time; parents begin to line up around 2:30 p.m. Volunteers are required to check in at the front office with a state-issued ID such as a driver's license. Volunteers should then go to the library media center to sign the volunteer log and get any additional information about the day's events.
