From classrooms and hallways to stairwells and the library, families and friends found cozy spots throughout the school to read together during Berg Elementary School 's Read with Me event! 📖

It was wonderful to see so many families take time out of their busy schedules to share a book at school with our students. These moments do more than build reading skills. They help create positive experiences and a love of reading that extends beyond the classroom.

Thank you to all the families who joined in and helped make Berg's first Title I family event of the school year such a great turnout!
