Simpson County School District recently joined the nationwide celebration of Read Across America, an annual event that promotes literacy and fosters a love for reading among students. Held in honor of Dr. Seuss’s birthday, this initiative encourages children to explore the joy of books through engaging activities and special guest readers.
Throughout the district, students participated in themed reading events, interactive storytelling sessions, and book giveaways. Teachers and staff decorated classrooms with colorful displays, and many dressed as beloved book characters to bring stories to life. Community leaders, including local officials and first responders, visited schools to read aloud to students, emphasizing the importance of literacy in lifelong learning.
The celebration not only highlighted the magic of books but also reinforced the district’s commitment to literacy development. As the Simpson County School District continues its efforts to promote education, events like Read Across America play a crucial role in shaping young minds and fostering a culture of reading.
