I love to read
I think it would be a great thing for everyone to acknowledge and accept people who are different from them. I think that this is a great opportunity to be the start of that.
The gift of reading provides the power of thought, decision making, consideration, entertainment, and advancement. It is the source of equality and control. It is the greatest opportunity for ALL people.
The Smyrna School District is happy to pledge to Read in Color. We value diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging in all areas of education.
We believe that by reading and sharing diverse books, understanding, empathy, and inclusion can grow from our doorsteps to the ends of the earth!
Because no should be shamed while reading a book
