Foxboro Elementary will be joining students across Davis School District and thousands of children across Utah on Friday, Oct. 2, as part of the Statewide Read-A-Thon, a celebration of reading and lifelong learning.
During the Read-A-Thon, students will set aside dedicated time during the school day to enjoy books, explore topics that interest them and strengthen their reading skills. Whether students choose a favorite story, discover a new author or learn about a subject they're passionate about, the event provides an opportunity to make reading a shared experience across classrooms and communities.
Reading plays a critical role in student success by helping children build knowledge, expand vocabulary, strengthen comprehension skills and develop creativity. The Statewide Read-A-Thon highlights the importance of literacy while encouraging students to see reading as both an educational tool and an enjoyable activity.
