October 21, 2014. SBCS supports Jumpstart’s premiere national campaign, Read for the Record, that mobilizes millions of children and adults to celebrate literacy by participating in the largest shared reading experience.

At the kick-off event, SBCS students joined millions around the country in reading the children’s book “Bunny Cakes”, a comical story of sibling bonding and birthday shenanigans, by bestselling author and illustrator Rosemary Wells, in support of Jumpstart’s mission: to work toward the day every child in America enters kindergarten prepared to succeed.

The Language Arts Department has extended READVENTURE until October 31. You can still continue to collect pledges.

Please submit pledge card and pledges to your Language Arts teacher on that day.
