Read Across America Day March 3, 2023 - March 3, 2023 morning St Thomas the Apostle School I will once again participate in the 8th Annual Read Across America event at St. Thomas the Apostle School on March 3, 2023.
Over the past 7 years, this school-wide event has grown from an afternoon with a few authors talking with our students, to a half-day of school filled with authors, reading, book character costumes, and fun-filled literary-themed activities. It is a day where books and writing are placed on a pedestal, and our students are encouraged to grab a book, get in costume and spend the day participating!
I can’t wait!
