Richland One Celebrates the Joy of Reading

You?ve never seen a reading program like this one. On September 30, Richland 
One pulls out all the stops in its annual celebration called Reading Rocks. The 
entire community is invited to enjoy a day of fun at Keenan High School, 3455 
Pine Belt Road. From 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. it?s non-stop entertainment that 
begins with a literacy parade led by USC mascot Cocky, Clifford the Big Red 
Dog, a host of local celebrities and storybook characters. After that, visitors 
can experience an amazing array of events and activities that include meeting 
local and national authors, tae kwon do demonstrations, puppet shows, praise 
team dancers, a vintage car show, band performances, storytelling and 
distribution of free books. But there?s still much more. While the kids enjoy 
the world champion Double Dutch Forces jump rope team, adults can visit the 
Parents? Corner to pick up free books, get a blood pressure screening or 
register to vote. Plus, visitors can take advantage of interactive booths and 
displays from dozens of organizations, such as the fire department, sheriff?s 
office, EdVenture Children?s Museum, and Palmetto Health Baptist. The theme of 
this year?s celebration of reading is Reading Rocks on the Radio. Local radio 
personalities have been invited to read to children.

"Celebrations like Reading Rocks help to underscore the importance of reading 
and literacy for students of all ages," said Ida Thompson, Richland One?s 
director of instructional technology. "We are fortunate to have both quality 
library programs and the Reading Is Fundamental program to help students and 
parents develop reading skills and confidence through the enjoyment of quality 
literature."
