Teacher reading to her class.

In support of its ongoing literacy efforts, Broken Arrow Public Schools is joining school districts from across the nation to celebrate Read Across America to showcase the importance of reading March 3 - 6 (Friday the 7th is a Distance Learning day).

During the week, school sites and classrooms will focus on making reading fun with many exciting reading activities, volunteer readers and dress up days.

“Broken Arrow educators truly understand that literacy is the key to student achievement and are committed to providing students with a variety of opportunities that lead them to success,” Deputy Superintendent Dr. Karla Dyess said.

Anyone interested in volunteering their time to be a guest reader in a classroom during Read Across America can sign up online.
