Annual Reading Festival Goes Bigger and Better

The Moreno Valley Mall was recently packed with camera-wielding parents and hundreds of third-graders ready to be celebrated as readers and being encouraged to keep on reading. It was a great way to close out another successful Read Across America week. And what a powerful statement of priority and pride it is each year when so many parents bring whole families out on a Saturday morning for the sake of encouraging their children’s reading. If you missed it – though it was so crowded, we can’t imagine anyone did – you can see some video from the event on the district website. Congratulations to all the staff and volunteers who made this year’s festival the best one yet.
