Celebrate
Literacy & Student Reading Achievements
Please
mark your calendars and attend the 14th year of celebrating the literacy
accomplishments of our students at the 2016 Reading Extravaganza (formerly the
PEP Rally for Educational Excellence)! Hosted by Duval County Public Schools,
students will receive recognition for reading achievements, enjoy fun-filled
activities, hear local celebrities reading their favorite children’s books, and
watch student performances. Be sure to stop by sponsor booths for literacy
information, free giveaways, a book swap, take the Public Education Strong pledge to
qualify for prizes, and visit an onsite food truck. There is no cost for
attendance, and it is open to the entire community!
