Shoutout to the WMS Literacy Liaison team! For their "one book, one school initiative," they're thoughtfully selecting books that resonate with their students—because when kids connect with what they read, everything changes. Engagement increases, and so does the love of reading!

Week 1 of our SEL book club with UA Social Work was a HIT! Students at MLK Jr. Elem and Oakdale Elementary are building literacy and social-emotional skills-plus taking home a new book each week. A powerful way to keep kids reading and thriving all summer long!
