Learning doesn't stop when school lets out!

The Athens State University College of Education is kicking off our Summer Learning Challenge, and we'd love for you to join us.

📚 Week 1 Challenge: Read Somewhere Unexpected

Take a book outside and read in a fun or unusual place:
🌳 Under a tree
🛶 By the water
🧺 At a picnic
🌻 In your garden
☕ At your favorite coffee shop

Research consistently shows that reading during the summer helps students maintain and strengthen literacy skills, but most importantly, it can spark curiosity, imagination, and a lifelong love of learning.

📸 Show us your reading spot!
Drop a photo in the comments and tell us:
What are you reading this summer?

We can't wait to see where your books take you.
