As we honor Native American Heritage Month this November, we invite you to join us in celebrating the rich and diverse cultures of Indigenous communities through our "Mad for Reading" program. This month provides a meaningful opportunity to acknowledge and explore the heritage, traditions and histories that enrich our community.


We encourage you to delve into a selection of books that highlight the stories and experiences of Native American peoples. By engaging with these narratives, we can deepen our understanding and appreciation of cultural contributions that shape our society.


The 'Mad for Reading' program exemplifies MMSD's unwavering commitment to ensuring every student becomes a proficient reader and writer. We are dedicated to equipping all students with the literacy skills necessary to navigate their futures, whether through becoming biliterate or developing a deep appreciation for diverse perspectives. By fostering a love for reading, we aim to create a more inclusive and informed community.


Thank you for your ongoing support and enthusiasm for literacy. Together, let’s make this Native American Heritage Month a time of reflection, learning and celebration.
