Just in time for Read Across America Week, celebrated March 2-6, 2025, Abington School District is launching a new poster campaign called “ASD Reads!”, designed to promote literacy and encourage a love of reading among students of all ages.
With more than 100 unique designs that will be displayed across the District’s 10 school buildings, bus garage and Administration Building, the poster artwork features staff members districtwide, including teachers, paraprofessionals, administrative assistants, bus drivers, custodians, administrators and more. School directors were also included in the campaign. All of the featured personnel were photographed holding their favorite book so that they can share this personal fun fact about themselves with students.
The posters, which are designed in a comic book style, also all have a QR code directing to the ASD Libraries webpage, where students can find the poster’s featured book, or others like it, for check-out at their school library.
“In our K-12 classrooms, we focus on encouraging students to foster a love of reading by providing opportunities for them to enjoy a large breadth of literature, stories, and genres,” Dr. Jeffrey S. Fecher, Superintendent of Schools, said. “It is important for students to see the faculty and staff engaged in reading by sharing their favorite books and by providing a visual example of active reading. ASD Reads! is a great medium for students to connect with our staff over their favorite books, in support of our reading curriculum and the power of literacy.”
ASD Reads! posters will be displayed throughout each school, from libraries and cafeterias, to hallways and classrooms, beginning this week. For a full album of all the poster designs, click here.
