This week, we join schools and communities across the nation in celebrating Read Across America Week, observed March 2–6, 2026!
Reading aloud builds confidence, strengthens literacy skills, and fosters a love of books in readers of all ages. Whether it’s a teacher sharing a favorite story, a student reading to classmates, or families enjoying a book together at home, every read-aloud moment makes a difference.
Let’s continue to inspire a lifelong love of reading in Laurens County School District 55 — one story at a time!

We celebrate the dedication, leadership, and hard work of our students involved in the National FFA Organization. FFA members continue to grow as leaders, build career skills, and make a positive impact through agricultural education and community involvement.
We are proud of our FFA students and advisors who represent the future of agriculture and leadership in our schools and community. Thank you for all you do!
