Reading in the Schools Day is an annual event where elementary schools in Rutherford County host volunteer readers to read in their classrooms throughout the day. For students, parents, and community leaders, this event magnifies the importance of reading – in school, at home, and just for fun. This year we were back in the schools to read!
The investment we make is vital to seeing our children and schools succeed. This success is possible through our partnership with local schools, the hard work of school coordinators and staff, and those in our caring community who are willing to share their time with students.
35 schools registered for this fun day of literacy, which was held on Friday, September 22, 2023. Hundreds of volunteers signed up to participate. We’re thankful to see such an outpouring of support and look forward to seeing everyone at next year’s Reading In The Schools Day!
