📚 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗔𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮: 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴! 📖✨ Reading isn’t just a fundamental skill—it’s the gateway to imagination, discovery, and lifelong learning. That’s why we love celebrating Read Across America at Nysmith! This year, we made it extra special by inviting students to dress up as their favorite book characters—and we saw everything from Harry Potter to Paw Patrol! But beyond the fun, the most important lesson of the day was this: 🌟 Reading should be a daily habit. 🌟 The best way to encourage children to read is by modeling it ourselves. 🌟 Books open doors to new ideas, creativity, and critical thinking. Let’s continue fostering a love of reading—not just today, but every day. #ReadAcrossAmerica #TheJoyOfReading #NysmithReads #LifelongLearning
