Attention: Elementary Principals - Jumpstart's Read for the Record, Thursday, October 26, 2023.

Jumpstart’s Read for the Record raises public awareness about the importance of early childhood education programs, early literacy, and community involvement for all children of every income level by gathering to read the same book on the same day. We are requesting that every elementary school join us in setting a new world record in a way that engages our entire community – children, families, and civic leaders – in our schools.

The 2023 Read for the Record Book is With Lots of Love by Jenny Torres Sanchez, illustrated by André Ceolin.

The Department of Curriculum & Instruction has purchased a special, paperback edition of With Lots of Love for our Pre-K through 2nd grade teachers in order for them to participate with their students on

the campaign day – October 26, 2023. In addition, Jumpstart has resources available on-line for educators, including classroom activities, lesson plans, certificates of participation, registration guidelines, and other pertinent materials.

Each year, the Office of Curriculum & Instruction recommends one elementary school to serve as a host school for the District celebration of Jumpstart’s Read for the Record campaign. All elementary schools will participate, dignitaries will receive special District invitations to attend the celebration at the host school and media coverage will be concentrated on that site.

This year we are asking schools that are interested in being selected to become the host school complete the form at https://bit.ly/23RFTRHOSTAPP by Friday, July 21, 2023. One elementary school will be selected from the submitted applications by the Department of Academic Affairs to host the event.

Below are suggestions to assist with planning your celebration:

· Garner the support of faculty and staff for assistance with decorations for storytimes.

· Invite parents and community leaders to participate in-person and/or serve as virtual guest readers on October 26, 2023.

· Encourage whole-school participation. We want every student to hear With Lots of Love on October 26, 2023, even though the focus is on early literacy.

· Your school will receive a copy of With Lots of Love for each PreK through 2nd grade classroom.

· Ensure that the books are shared with all Pre-K through 2nd grade teachers.

Let us know what you are planning so we can share! o If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Alicia Fields fieldsa@scsk12.org, Library Services Instructional Advisor or Meryl Isabel isabelml@scsk12.org, Educational Support Manager.
