Before heading into spring break, every student at Prince Edward County Elementary School received books and fun goodies to encourage reading at home. We hope our students found time to relax, explore new stories, and, of course, get “caught” reading over the break!
Get Caught Reading is a nationwide initiative that promotes the joy and importance of reading, reminding students that reading can happen anywhere—at home, outside, on vacation, or wherever their adventures take them.
