Seward Read Around

Read Around February - March

The Seward Montessori Read Around is our annual read-a-thon and school-wide celebration of reading. During Read Around, Seward students are encouraged to read at home every day, recording this time on their Reading Record. There are also lots of in-school activities - guest author visits, mystery readers, and more! This is also a PTA fundraiser, so students are encouraged to ask friends and family to pledge support for their reading efforts.
