Tomorrow, Thursday, October 27, 2022, is the annual Read For the Record. Jumpstart's event, Read for the Record, is a global moment meant to raise awareness around the importance of early literacy and access to high-quality books. Each year Read For the Record brings millions of people together as they read the same book on the same day. This year, the book chosen for the event is Nigel and the Moon, by Antwan Eady, and is published by Harper Collins. Please be on the lookout for pictures from this event as it is celebrated around PCPS. Want to read the book with your child?
