I Love To Read Month 2025
February is national I Love To Read Month! SPPS has prepared several fun activities for students to participate in throughout the month.
Student Activities:
-
Bookmark Contest (PreK-12): We want you to design our Saint Paul Public Schools library bookmarks! This year's theme is "Read Every Day". Winning designs will be selected for different age groups (PreK-5, 6-8, and 9-12) and distributed at SPPS schools! Use this bookmark template to create your artwork and return to any SPPS school library. There is also a PreK-2-friendly entry form and Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) entry form.
-
40 Book Challenge (PreK-8): Students are encouraged to participate in our 40 Book Reading Challenge during the month of February. Pick up your participation sheet at your school library or access it using this entry form for grades PreK-3 and this form for grades 4-8. Students who finish the challenge will receive a journal, pencil, and bookmark or sticker, and will be entered into a raffle for the grand prize!
Students will be provided with information about these activities through their school’s library staff. Schools might host additional reading-related events throughout the month. Parents and guardians can get involved by encouraging students to participate in these activities.
