Alexandria, LA (7/9/2024) – The Rapides Parish School Board and its Literacy Task Force are ready to kickoff their Summer Literacy Bus Tour!
The Literacy Bus will be stopping at Kees Park this Thursday, July 11. Children and families can engage with teachers and district leaders on reading strategies, getting new books for a home library, and enjoying games and activities.
The goal of the summer literacy tour is to ensure that parents and families have access to resources and tools to make reading a daily habit.
Outside of the literacy aspect, children can enjoy Kees Park and treats from the Red River Ice Cream Truck!
Superintendent Jeff Powell says, “We want to continue engaging with our families over the summer and meet them where they are. These literacy events will help students get excited and motivated to read!”
