READ® Hall of Fame

We're showcasing readers throughout our school and community through our celebrity READ® poster campaign. Each celebrity chooses a favorite book to pose with and we turn it into a poster. Each celebrity receives a copy of their poster and enters the "READ® Hall of Fame."

Who will be the next celebrity? You decide!
