Garden City School District Celebrates World Read Aloud Day
On Feb. 5, Garden City Public Schools came together to celebrate World Read Aloud Day, bringing students and educators together in a shared love for storytelling. Superintendent Dr. Sinha kicked off the day with a virtual reading of “Feeling Grateful” by Kobi Yamada, setting the tone for a day filled with literacy-rich experiences.
Throughout the district, students participated in a variety of activities that highlighted the magic of reading aloud. Younger and older students paired up to read together, authors shared their stories virtually, and students reflected on their experiences through writing and creative projects like bookmark making. A special highlight was middle and high school students recording virtual read-alouds, which were compiled into choice boards for primary and elementary students to enjoy.
“It's always special to see our district come together in celebration of the joy of reading,” said Director of Literacy K-12 Lauren Kaufman. “These moments foster a love of literature and build connections across grade levels.”
While reading is celebrated daily in Garden City, World Read Aloud Day continues to be a cherished tradition that brings the learning community together in a special way.
