Black History Month Guest Reader Day

Talbott Springs is hosting a Black History Month Guest Reader day on Friday, February 27th. We invite adult family and community members to read a book, one that highlights an author, illustrator, person, or character of color, to a class of students. If you have a book you would like to read, please bring it. We will also have a collection of books available to you to choose from. If you are interested in volunteering as a Guest Reader, please review the available time slots and sign up. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to Christina Mizia at Christina_Mizia@hcpss.org. Thank you for your support as we celebrate Black History Month and promote literacy!
