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!
