At Emerald Cove Middle School, leadership and literacy go hand in hand. During the “Students Read a Book Across America” event, Pre-IT academy students took the lead in mentoring and inspiring younger learners at Equestrian Trails Elementary School. Through engaging read-aloud sessions, middle schoolers brought the magic of Dr. Seuss to life, fostering a love for reading among kindergarten and first-grade students.
Thanks to the generosity of donors, each young student received their own copy of a Dr. Seuss book, allowing them to continue their reading journey at home. Adding to the excitement, the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office joined the event with their emotional support dogs, creating a warm and welcoming environment for the children. Through this collaborative effort, Emerald Cove’s Pre-IT students are proving that leadership starts with giving back and making a difference.
