Students at Northwest Arkansas LISA Academy campuses celebrated Read Across America with a week filled with engaging activities that highlighted the power of literacy. Educators encouraged students to explore new stories while emphasizing reading as a gateway to knowledge and opportunity. Throughout the week, students took part in interactive read-aloud sessions, dressed as their favorite literary characters, and participated in book-themed STEM activities that connected reading with science. At LISA Academy, fostering meaningful discussions about the impact of reading across all areas of life remains a core part of our commitment to academic excellence and student growth.
