We are excited to begin our Book of the Month this school year. Each month, Principal Reeves and other Marbut staff members will share a special book with our students. Through these read-alouds, students will see teachers, staff, and school leaders modeling something very important: Readers are everywhere! Our goal is for students to hear engaging stories, discover new authors and topics, and experience the excitement that comes from sharing a great book with others.

One way we are fostering a culture of reading at Marbut is through DEAR Time—Drop Everything and Read! During DEAR Time, students and staff pause, grab a good book, and simply enjoy reading. This time reminds our Mountain Lions that reading is not just something we do for an assignment or a grade—it can be something we do for joy, discovery, and relaxation.

Set aside 15–20 minutes of family DEAR Time this week. Afterward, ask your child: “What was your favorite part of what you read today?” Then, share something about what you read too!
