Read Across America

 

2020 Read-On Missouri Tour
promotes NEA's Read Across America

Read-On Missouri Tour

Since 1999, Missouri NEA has sponsored a state tour, celebrating NEA's Read Across America, to help inspire reading in Missouri’s youth. The National Education Association’s nationwide reading celebration takes place each year during the first week of March.

MNEA's Read-On Missouri Tour is Feb. 24-March 6. MNEA Pres. Phil Murray and Vice Pres. Rebeka McIntosh will engage with students about the connection between reading and success in life. We encourage local leaders to organize classroom activities that promote lifetime reading habits and use skits, parades, games and other activities that celebrate reading and further the message that reading opens doors to opportunities to learn and grow in our diverse world.

Visit www.mnea.org/ReadOnTour for the complete tour schedule.

Questions? Contact Debra Beckman at (573) 644-9616 or debra.beckman@mnea.org. 

As you plan your campaign, remember to line up a photographer to record your event in pictures. Be sure to share your event ideas and photos on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram by @mentioning Missouri NEA. Submit by March 8 high quality photos (one megabyte or larger) and a short description of the photos to Debra Beckman at Debra.Beckman@mnea.org or Missouri NEA, Attn: Debra Beckman, 1810 E. Elm St., Jefferson City, MO 65101.

Share your story

Even though we are not at school supporting Missouri students, members continue to help every day during this crisis. MNEA wants to share your stories as we struggle through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We are hearing about members who are continuing to care for their students by

  • volunteering at school district Grab & Go meal distribution centers and food drives
  • providing child care for essential medical staff
  • shopping for the elderly so they don’t have to leave the safety of their homes

Your stories help show that educators don’t stop caring. Please send your stories with pictures to MNEA at coronavirus@mnea.org, so we can share them. You can post to social media, making sure you tag @MissouriNEA and use the hashtags  #MNEAheroes and  #MNEAprotects.
