Reading Rally Guest

Reading Rally is a morning “pep rally” that celebrates literacy, mindfulness, friendship, creativity, and empowerment. Read Aloud Guests are invited to participate in Reading Really by reading a short picture book to the scholars and sharing about themselves and their role in the community. Read Aloud Guests can bring a favorite book from home or have one provided for them.

Time commitment – 8:30 – 9:00 AM on a weekday during our summer program.

Read Aloud Guests must be 18 years of age or older.
