Read Across America Week is here, and we are thrilled to celebrate all week long at Harrison! This year’s celebration is especially meaningful as we honor America’s 250th birthday by spotlighting our nation’s unique states and the diverse readers who make our country so special. Throughout the week, students will enjoy spirit days, special guest readers, and buddy activities that bring our school community together through the joy of reading. Happy Read Across America Week!
