Mecklenburg County Public Schools is proud to celebrate Read Across America Week!
📚✨ March 2 through March 6 ✨📚
All week long, our elementary students will enjoy special guest readers who are taking time to share their love of reading and connect with our learners in meaningful ways. There is nothing more powerful than a great story read aloud by someone who believes in the magic of books.
Even more exciting, every elementary student will receive a free book to take home and keep. We want our students building home libraries, growing their imaginations, and discovering that reading can take them anywhere.
Families, ask your child what they are reading this week.
Community members, thank you for being part of the story.
