March is National Reading Month! National Reading Month is always a fun-filled month of activities to celebrate reading with learners and their families. The National Education Association’s “Read Across America” initiative has always been a big part of this celebration. Read Across America is an annual reading motivation and awareness program that calls for every child in every community to celebrate reading.  This year's theme is "Cultivate Compassion".

National Read Across America Day is on Wednesday, March 2 and is the day to kick-off a month of reading events at our school.

Three ways we are celebrating:

• March 1-31- Read Across America Calendar
  • This year, we are going to Read Across America with stories about immigrants and refugees. Through these stories we will uncover their journeys to America and witness both their joys and their struggles. What will unfold is a better understanding of what we mean when we say that the United States is a nation of immigrants. With each story – some true and some fiction – we will discover the rich cultures – languages, holidays, traditions, fashion, food, beliefs, and values – immigrants and refugees bring with them from their home countries adding value to the rich, diverse fabric of America.
