Read Across South St. Paul is back for its 18th season. The 2019-2020 Read Across South St. Paul will kick off on Friday, October 4th at Lincoln Center and Kaposia Education. The first Friday of each month has been designated Read Across South St. Paul in the Elementary Schools. This is a partnership between the City and School District making it truly a community program. Volunteers have the opportunity to read to students at Lincoln Center and/or Kaposia Education Center in a classroom setting. Read Across South St. Paul times are 9:00 at Lincoln Center and 9:30 am at Kaposia Education Center. Books will be provided each month relating to the theme. Read Across South St. Paul takes about 30 minutes each month and a great way to give back to the community.
