A Focus On...

The Avon Park High School Red Devil Reading Leadership Team is on fire with reading. As part of their work for the year, they are promoting reading to their students by having school teams, groups, and clubs take pictures reading. Students wear their uniforms and/or are placed in their area of study. Their hope is to showcase reading in and out of the classroom. Each month, a team, club or organization will have its picture made and posted in the front entryway of the library. This month’s group- the football team! The hope is all students will see their peers picking up books for enjoyment. Hut, Hut, READ!
