Broward County Public Schools (BCPS) is excited to participate in Jumpstart’s Read for the Record® on Thursday,
October 29, joining millions of readers across the nation in reading the book Evelyn Del Rey is Moving Away, by Meg Medina. BCPS
has participated in Jumpstart’s Read for the Record® since its inception 14 years ago and was honored as its Read for the Record® District of the Year in 2019.
Superintendent Robert W. Runcie will celebrate this year’s Read for the Record® by reading to pre-K students at Gulfstream Early Learning Center. School Board members, local leaders, and representatives from professional sports teams, local businesses, organizations, libraries and others will also participate by serving as virtual guest readers at schools across the District.
In addition, through a partnership between BCPS, Children's Services Council of Broward County and multiple Broward County early childhood stakeholders, a copy of Evelyn Del Rey is Moving Away will be provided to each pre-K and kindergarten child in Broward County, totaling 40,000 books for 40,000 children! The books will be distributed this spring through schools and early childcare providers.
