Avondale Kicks Off March is Reading Month with Books & Bites

March is Reading Month is off to an exciting start in Avondale with a brand-new program designed to bring stories to life in a delicious way! In partnership with our dining services team, Avondale student-athletes are teaming up with K-2 classrooms for Books & Bites.

During each Books & Bites session, an Avondale athlete visits a classroom to read a book that features a fun food element. After the story, the dining services team provides a snack that pairs with the book, giving students a hands-on (and mouthwatering!) connection to the story they just heard.

This pilot program is an exciting way to encourage a love of reading while also highlighting the importance of nutrition and community involvement. Avondale Food and Nutrition is thrilled to launch this initiative and looks forward to seeing our youngest learners engage with books in a whole new way.

Stay tuned for more Books & Bites moments throughout March as we continue celebrating the power of reading—one story (and one snack) at a time!
