During February, Westlawn’s Reading Specialists are leading our school in a reading campaign, For the Love of Reading! Every student is encouraged to read, read, read.

A book is given to one student in each grade level each Friday in February. The reading campaign will culminate on March 2 with is Dr. Seuss’s Read Across America Day.
