Ahoy, Mateys! Our Asbury Academy crew had a treasure-filled adventure for Read Across America week at Battleground Elementary! We sailed in to share a special story—and the laughter was louder than a cannon blast!

Our incredible students paired up with the younger kids to share the magic of "The Book with No Pictures"—which, as we discovered, can get pretty silly. After the reading, the students put their imaginations to work.

Take a peek at these pics to see:

The reading mentorship in action! Our students leaning in, guiding the fun as the younger kids dove into their creative responses.

Collaborative coloring power! Our older students and Battleground Elementary kids working together at the tables, turning blank pages into colorful masterpieces to illustrate their interpretation of the book.

The proud smiles of success! A triumphant final photo with everyone (teachers, mentors, and the incredible young readers) showing off the beautiful artwork they created.

What a rewarding day of community, leadership, and literacy! We can’t wait for our next adventure!

A large group of about twenty students and three teachers posing for a photo in a classroom. Most of the students are standing or kneeling and proudly holding up small, colorful square drawings they have created. The room is filled with classroom materials, including posters on the walls, books on shelves, and a large wooden table in the foreground. Everyone is smiling or looking toward the camera, capturing a moment of collective pride in their creative work.

A teacher in a light blue puffer jacket stands at the end of the table, leaning in to observe and support their work. In the background, other students sit at individual desks, and the walls are filled with colorful educational posters, vocabulary words, and bookshelves. The atmosphere is active and collaborative as the students focus on their creative task.

The students are focused on their small illustrations, with markers and plastic bags scattered across the table. In the background, there is a whiteboard with a reading fluency chart, bookshelves filled with books, and a wooden podium.

Focus, determination, and progress are on full display in the SAVE program as these students work diligently to earn their credits and achieve their high school diplomas. Whether they are diving into digital assignments on their laptops or tackling coursework at their tables, every minute spent in this classroom is a vital step closer to graduation. We are incredibly proud of the grit and hustle these students show in this focused environment as they build the habits today that will lead to a bright and successful future.

A classroom setting where six students are working at black-topped lab tables. The room has light yellow and blue walls, with "Mrs. Beckham" displayed on a sign above an air vent. Most students are focused on laptops, while one student in the foreground wears orange patterned pants and another in the back looks toward the camera. Sunlight filters through two windows with blinds, and the walls are decorated with educational posters and a whiteboard.

Asbury Academy students connected with employees from the City of Lincolnton during Asbury Works on February 25th.
