Roadrunner was excited to participate in the My Summer Library program again this year, funded by the United Way of Southern Arizona. The program helps reduce summer reading loss by providing books for students to enjoy over the summer.
This year, all Kindergarten and 1st grade scholars selected 12 brand-new books to take home! Volunteers helped students “shop” for books, making the experience extra special. We are so grateful for this incredible opportunity and gift for our students and families! Click here to learn more.

Literacy is the foundation for lifelong learning, both in and out of school. We want our scholars to build literacy skills so that they are successful learners, but we also want them to love reading. Not everyone is a natural reader, but everyone can learn to love reading with the right stories.
