Reading has always been an essential part of learning, but at Trailside Point, it’s also a way to win big! We’re thrilled to announce that Trailside Point has emerged victorious in the Valley Readers challenge, a literacy initiative sponsored by the Phoenix Suns/Phoenix Mercury Foundation in partnership with School Connect.
This exciting program encouraged students across three districts—Alhambra, Laveen, and Tempe—to immerse themselves in books while earning rewards for their efforts. Pre-K through 3rd-grade students logged their reading minutes, while 4th through 8th-grade mentors played a key role in supporting and inspiring their younger peers. Schools with the highest average reading time were recognized with special prizes, and Trailside Point rose to the challenge!
Through dedication, teamwork, and a love of reading, our students proved that Laveen is a district of champions. Congratulations to Trailside Point for this incredible achievement, and a huge thank you to our students, mentors, teachers, and families for making literacy a priority. Keep turning those pages—because when we read, we win!
