Read Across America Family Night
March 3, 2022
NPE’s 2022 Read Across America celebration consisted of an in-person book and treat pickup, followed by virtual readers. There were nearly 400 participants!
Read Across America is the nation’s largest celebration of reading. NEA encourages everyone to pick up a book and read with a child during Read Across America week. To celebrate, NPE holds an annual family event!
Thanks to Donna Clarke, Kelly Smith, and Stephanie King for all their work! The RAA celebration is always a highlight of the school year, and their creativity and organization were the key to getting this event off the ground in this uncertain year. BRAVO! Plus, thanks to all the parents who helped behind the scenes, donated books, and volunteered their time to assemble treats and sort the books. You are part of what makes NPE a Great Place to Be!
