Read for the Record kicks off October 28!
This year, Robert R. Church Elementary will serve as the host school for Jumpstart’s Read for the Record event on Thursday, October 28, 10 a.m. This annual event brings together millions of adults and children around the world each year to read the same book on the same day in order to raise awareness about the critical importance of early literacy.
Board members, District leadership, and other special guests have been invited to participate in the national reading event by joining us to read this year’s book, Amy Wu and the Patchwork Dragon, to students. Written by Kat Zhang and illustrated by Charlene Chua, this book is about a young girl who struggles during craft time to create a dragon that perfectly represents her. The story superbly captures themes of self-identity and affirmation through celebration of cultural symbols and family history.

Operation Warm Hearts is returning soon!
SCS is gearing up to host the sixth annual winter clothing collection drive for new coats and winter gear for students – Operation Warm Hearts. This year’s event will take place on Giving Tuesday, November 30 from 7 a.m. – 6 p.m. at the BOE. We know winter weather impacts student attendance because, throughout the District, schools report increased student absences during the winter, as compared to warm weather months. Operation Warm Hearts has helped provide thousands of coats and winter clothing items over the past six years to the students who need them most.
We are inviting local businesses, organizations, and churches to help support our students through Operation Warm Hearts by hosting onsite collections and/or by supporting the message to donate funds to SchoolSeed Foundation to support Operation Warm Hearts. More information is coming soon!
