Read Across America Week, March 2 - 6

After the great success of last year’s Book Fair, we are thrilled to once again partner with I:55 during Read Across America Week! This event is a wonderful opportunity to highlight age appropriate, family friendly books while fostering a love of reading within our children and school community.


To make this special week a continued success, we need your help. Please consider volunteering your time to support the Book Fair, whether it’s helping students browse, managing sales, or assisting with cleanup. Best of all, a portion of all sales goes directly back to St. John’s, supporting our students and school programs.


Thank you for your continued support and generosity. Together, we can make this another meaningful and memorable event for our students!
