As Literacy Month continues, we'd like to highlight a few more elementary schools that hosted Read Across America events or celebrated their love of reading with schoolwide themed days such as dressing up like your favorite book character! It's wonderful to see the connection between our students & our guest readers as they spent time together diving into books that teach them lessons and expand their creative minds. We want to again thank our guest readers who visited our classrooms and made our schools' Day of the Reader activities fun and exciting for our students. #downeyunified #ourkidsdeservethebest #readacrossamerica #dayofthereader #literacy #books

We're so excited to invite our community to this year's Carnival of Champions! Join us this Saturday, 3/25, for our annual elementary track & field event from 8a-12p at Warren High. We can't wait to cheer on our elementary student athletes! #downeyunified #ourkidsdeservethebest
