Mad for Reading

Read Your Heart Out (RYHO) was started by former MMSD educator, Michelle Belnavis, as a celebration of reading to correspond with National African American Parent Involvement Day in February. See the website created by MMSD's FYCE department for more info.

Some schools have coordinated an all-school read where all classrooms read the same book aloud and do related activities and lessons to build community and foster a reading culture in their schools. In some cases, books are acquired for all students and their families. In other cases only the classroom teacher gets the book. 

• Madison Reading Project, Parent Teacher Groups, or other school budget funds have covered these projects. They are not eligible for CSF.
