Happy Read 901 Day! It’s a day to celebrate Memphis, literacy and the joy of reading!
Today, we stood with our district in promoting literacy and building a lifelong love of reading among our students. We read “Shelby County A to Z: A Phonics Book”, a book inspired by the people, places, and culture of Shelby County. This special book was proposed by two MSCS students as a way to celebrate diversity and representation, while helping young readers make meaningful connections to their own local community and environment.
We would like to thank our community partners, student council, and teachers for making this event a success.
