Did you know Martin County Schools has the only high school 2nd and 7 Program in North Carolina?
What is 2nd and 7? This is a national program focused on promoting reading to second-grade students. By design, the program uses positive role models and free books to help promote the love of reading. The Martin County Schools program brings high school athletes to each second-grade classroom multiple times a year.
During each visit, students receive a copy of that visit’s book to keep from the Hog Mollies series, which teaches character education.
The books are provided at no cost to the district thanks to the 2nd and 7 Foundation.
Visit their website at www.secondandseven.com to learn more about the program.
