Read Across America (sponsored by the National Education Association) is observed on or around Dr. Seuss’s birthday (March 2nd) and is a sort of “pep rally” for reading. The CES library has invited guest readers from our community and school district to visit classrooms, read books aloud, and serve as “reading role models” for our students.

Special guests will include mayor Mark Barron, librarians Debbie Schlinger and Patty Rocha from the Teton County Library , members of the mens’ and womens’ Moose Hockey Teams, Brian Coe of the Jackson Fire Department, and students from Summit and Jackson Hole High Schools.

In addition to hosting these great readers, we’ll be holding the library’s spring book fair! Please come visit & shop during conferences, the evenings of March 4th and 5th to support literacy & learning with books! We’ll be here until 8:30 p.m. both evenings.

One resource parents may be interested in checking out comes from the NEA, and discusses tips for reading with 4-6th grade students. Reading is always a celebration in our library, but we’re thrilled to be able to share our enthusiasm with you and the broader JH community!
