The 16th annual Reading In The Schools Day is set for Friday, Sept. 20th.

This annual effort to connect the community with the classroom encourages volunteer readers to read aloud to an enthusiastic group of students.

To sign-up to read at particular school, folks can go to www.readtosucceed.org, click events, click Reading In the Schools Day, then fill out the form and choose the school of choice. The school coordinator will be in touch.

The one-day literacy celebration was started in 2003 by Read To Succeed. On this day, volunteer readers are welcomed into the classrooms of each participating school.
