From March 3-6, more than 1,500 students and 1,000 parents at 25 VPS schools celebrated the National Education Association’s (NEA) Read Across America event, the nation’s largest reading event.
First-grade students, their families, and younger siblings attended a “Bites and Books” event, where they enjoyed breakfast and received a book. This year, books were shared in eight languages, reflecting the diverse community of our young readers.
Thanks to generous donations from Riverview Bank, Riverview Trust Company, and Wellpoint, the Foundation for VPS was able to purchase books for each student to take home.
We appreciate our community partners for supporting literacy and fostering a love of reading!
