CFBISD African American Read In (AARI)

February 25, 2025 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm

Free

Students, parents, and staff are invited to read or recite a favorite poem, picture book, or excerpt from an African American author or poet. Readings should be 2 minutes or less. All ages are invited to participate!

Since this event has passed, I would like to add that our youngest participant was Pre-K who recited the last line from Gorman’s “This Hill We Climb” – “for there is always light if only we’re brave enough to see it, if only we’re brave enough to be it.”  Our readers included students from multiple elementary schools, two of our middle schools, and three of our high schools. We had several adult readers that included teachers and parents. We also warmly welcomed a family from another district who attended – and the student read – because they were not having an AARI event in their district.
