Let the Reading Begin – Read Across America At Manitoba School

February 27, 2026 by Nancy Martin

Read Across America (RAA), a nationwide literacy initiative launched by the National Education Association, celebrates the joy and importance of reading.

On March 4 and March 6, our wonderful community partners will visit some of our classrooms to read age-appropriate books to our students. Through expressive reading and engaging discussion, these guest readers help bring stories to life and connect literacy to the broader community.

Read Across America supports early literacy development, builds a love of reading, and reinforces the message that books help shape young minds. We are proud to partner with our community to inspire strong reading habits in our youngest learners!

We invite families to join the fun at home by reading together each day. Whether it’s a classic favorite or a brand-new adventure, every story counts!
