Roosevelt students visit the Esperanza Rising booth during the RSD Reading Bonanza

The inaugural RSD Reading Bonanza was a vibrant celebration of stories and imagination. Students across the district flocked to Percy L. Julian and Ed and Verma Pastor schools, where they were transported into literary worlds they'd only dreamed of.

They crafted their creations, engaged with local children's authors, and left with free books to fuel their reading adventures. It was a day filled with creativity, connection, and, of course, a love for books.
