DEAR Day

Drop Everything and Read

Celebrate the Joy of Reading

Join in on the fun as Waxahachie ISD celebrates "Drop Everything and Read Day."  D.E.A.R. Day is an exciting tradition at WISD where community members are invited to visit WISD campuses and celebrate the joy of reading with students.  Those who choose to be a D.E.A.R. Friend must pre-register as a reader at any one of the elementary and PreK campuses throughout WISD.

Parents, community members, business leaders, and students are cordially invited to serve as guest readers on campuses for students ranging from pre-kindergarten to fifth grade. Each spring, more than 500 participants take part in this distinguished one-day event, which promotes the importance of reading. Guest readers read simultaneously during three designated reading sessions throughout the day. Generous contributions from the community make it possible to purchase new books for classroom use during the event. We encourage you to join WISD and over 500 valued friends in March as we celebrate "Drop Everything and Read."
