This special week, launched by the National Education Association, is all about building a love of reading and reminding our students that books open doors to imagination, knowledge, and adventure.
Our themed dress-up days aren’t just for fun (although they definitely are fun! 🎉). Each day is thoughtfully designed to connect back to reading and help students remember that books can take them anywhere. Whether they’re dressing like a favorite character, wearing cozy reading clothes, or celebrating different genres, every spirit day ties back to one important message:
**Read every day. Read in every way.**
We can’t wait to see our students show their school spirit and grow as readers all week long! 💙📖
