This year’s theme, Each Day Find a Way to Read, provided a morning of reading and imaginary exploration. The annual event produced by Rankin’s curriculum team is designed to foster a love of reading books by students in Kindergarten to fifth grade. The principal of Rankin Elementary is Stephanie Rakes.
