Earlier this month, Camden Rockport Elementary School proudly joined schools across the country in celebrating Read Across America Week 2026, a nationwide initiative that promotes a love of reading and highlights the importance of literacy for children of all ages. The week was filled with engaging literacy activities, themed days, and special guest readers.
I had the privilege of participating as a guest reader and reading to four classrooms of CRES students. I loved the time I spent in those classrooms and interacting with our curious Kindergarten students!
Moments like these serve as a powerful reminder of the importance of early literacy and the joy that books can bring. Our youngest learners demonstrated enthusiasm, curiosity, and a genuine love of stories that reinforces the incredible work happening every day in our classrooms.
I am grateful to our dedicated teachers and staff for creating such meaningful experiences for our students and for continuing to nurture a culture of reading across our schools.
Sincerely,
Maria Libby, Superintendent
