📚✨ What an AMAZING start to this year’s Sharyland ISD Summer Reading Program!
Students and families gathered to kick off a summer filled with reading, learning, and adventure. Participants enjoyed engaging stories, fun activities, a nutritious lunch provided by our Sharyland ISD Child Nutrition Program, and each child received a brand-new book to take home and enjoy.
A special thank you to Dairy Queen Shary and F&P Brands for joining us and supporting our young readers during this exciting kickoff event! ❤️📖
Thank you to everyone who helped make the morning so special. We look forward to continuing The Great Reading Quest at our next session on Tuesday, June 9.

I have had such amazing school library mentors and I have been blessed to mentor others. As educators we must gather our courage and time and mentor young people. Be there to support, motivate and cheer them on their way.
Lots of engagement for National Library Week @ Sharyland High School and Sharyland Advanced Academic Academy
Amazing students with a passion for reading. Celebrate these students 📚

In order to ban books from its libraries, New Braunfels Independent School District has just closed its libraries to middle and high schoolers.
