📚 The Black Men Read Program returned this week to offer supplemental library education for JCS fourth-graders! Wes MacKall visited fourth-grade classrooms at North Jefferson Elementary School to read "Clayton Byrd Goes Underground" by Newbery Honor winner Rita Williams-Garcia. He was one of several community members, professional actors and storytellers, and other black male role models who visited schools across the district this week as part of the nationally recognized program. Created in 2022, Black Men Read is a collaborative effort between artists, educators, and parents focused on building relationships with supportive community members.
