Last Thursday, Arizona Desert Elementary welcomed Jessica from Kids Need To Read for a special visit made possible through a generous book grant awarded to the school.

Jessica delivered boxes of books that will help give students even more opportunities to explore new stories and strengthen their love of reading.

During the visit, kindergarten and first-grade students also enjoyed a special read-aloud activity, making the day an engaging and memorable experience for our young readers.

A big thank you to Kids Need to Read for supporting Arizona Desert Elementary and helping us continue to inspire a love of reading in our students!
