📚Inspiring a Love of Reading, One Story at a Time!❤️
There’s something special about sharing a good book, sparking a child’s imagination and helping young readers discover the joy of reading! 📖✨
Thank you, Cooper Steel, for investing in #students at East Side Elementary School by regularly visiting classrooms to read and model a love for reading. By taking time out of their schedules to share stories and connect with students, these volunteers are helping nurture a positive attitude toward reading and showing children just how meaningful it can be. 💛
The impact of these moments goes beyond the pages of a book. They help encourage curiosity, inspire a lifelong love of learning and remind students that members of their community care about their growth and success. 🥰

📚🥕 A little reading, a little math and a whole lot of fun!
Zach Greenwood visits Mrs. Monroe’s 5th-grade class at East Side Elementary School each month as their Cooper Steel reader. During his recent visit, he shared the book Creepy Carrots with students! 🥕
But the fun didn't stop with story time! Zach also challenged the class with a math question, and #student Annalyn Rich was quick to answer correctly and take home the book as a prize! 🎉
For the past four years, Zach has made monthly visits to Mrs. Monroe’s classroom, building relationships with #students, sharing his love of reading and keeping them on their toes with math challenges along the way.
We love seeing community connections like these make a lasting impact on our students! ❤️

🌟🏫 Making an Impression Beyond the Classroom! 🏫🌟
When a program continues to make an impression, people take notice! 👏 Jostens has consistently been impressed with #ShelbyvilleCentralHighSchool’s Renaissance program and recently spent three days visiting three of our district’s schools including SCHS, #EastSideElementarySchool and #SouthsideElementarySchool. Stay tuned for a video from the Jostens team capturing what Renaissance is all about!
✨ The visit offered an opportunity to see more of the great things happening at each school, connect with educators and learn about the programs and experiences that make each school unique. From the continued impact of SCHS’s Renaissance program to the special things happening at the other schools visited, there was plenty to celebrate!
🙌 #ThankYou, Jostens, for your continued interest in SCHS’s Renaissance program and for taking the time to visit and connect with our schools!
