Superintendent Grover celebrates Read Across America; district shares classroom highlights
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Tawana Grover marked Read Across America with school visits and the district podcast shared brief reports from classrooms across the district, including hands-on learning at Kirkwood College and visits from community athletes.
Superintendent Dr. Tawana Grover described Read Across America Day visits to several district schools, saying she enjoyed reading to students and seeing their engagement. "Reading just doesn't build skills, it builds confidence, connection, and a lifelong love of learning," Grover said on the podcast.
Grover noted she visited Grant Wood, Pierce and Johnson STEAM Academy, and the podcast also described preschool story time at Truman Elementary Childhood Center.

Peer student council members also visited classrooms to read books about kindness and inclusion for anti-bullying week.
