In honor of Attendance Awareness Month in September, the Suncoast Campaign for Grade-Level Reading is hosting an Attendance Awareness Poster Contest to promote good attendance habits and help students and parents understand why going to school every day matters.

Children attending school in Manatee and Sarasota counties can participate by designing creative posters that illustrate the theme “Every Day Counts” all month long using templates provided by their teachers or other school staff. Parents of students who are homeschooled or attend private schools and preschools can email info@gradelevelreadingsuncoast.net to participate.
