Regency Mall partnering with local schools to offer special events to promote reading

RACINE, Wis. (CBS 58) -- Regency Mall will be partnering with local schools for a community reading initiative.

On Monday, they announced the start of Racine READS, a program designed to publicly promote reading through special events held at Regency Mall.

Racine READS features two events for partnering elementary schools. The first is a READS Spirit Night that encourages reading and support local libraries. The event features interactive games for students who can use their reading skills to win prizes. For every student that attends, the program donates $1 for the school’s library.

The second event is a READS Recognition Night that celebrates the reading achievements of students at the end of the school year. The event features a presentation of certificates by local leaders and a wall of recognition displaying the names of student readers.

Racine READS is supported by the Regency Mall at no cost to participating schools or families. For more information or for schools interested in joining Racine READS, click here.
