A week of reading: Cherokee Bend READS Week

Cherokee Bend students and staff shared the love of reading in Cherokee Bend READS Week in April, together reading 127,285 minutes. That equals out to 2,121 hours or 88 days of reading. 

Malek Grant, a Mountain Brook High basketball player, read with fifth-grade students. Other guests visited to read during the week as well.

Cherokee Bend students also donated 3,065 books to the Birmingham Reads Book Drive. These books will be distributed to students in Birmingham and will be treasured for years to come.  Sixth Grade Ambassadors helped with the book collection each morning. PTO Mighty Men loaded books and delivered them to Brookwood Mall.
