Distinctive Schools is proud to launch a new initiative to celebrate diversity and engage families in reading and literacy. Día, which means “day” in Spanish, is a community-based, family literacy initiative across the United States. Its goal is to link children to books day-by-day, día-por-día.
"Día: Children’s Day/Book Day" was founded by Pat Mora, a poet and author of books for children, teens, and adults. At all five Distinctive Schools campuses, we have provided every kindergarten through grade 3 classroom library with copies of Ms. Mora's bilingual picture book, Book Fiesta!: Celebrate Children’s Day/Book Day; Celebremos El día de los niños/El día de los libros. In addition, each K-3 classroom will raffle a copy of the book to a student in the class.
