Want to make sure each of your students have enough money for school meals each day? MySchoolBucks has a great feature that automatically alerts you when their meal accounts start getting low.

Within MySchoolBucks, you can adjust these alerts based on a low balance threshold that gets set for each student individually. That way if one student spends money faster than another, you can ensure you have enough time to get notified and add funds to their meal account.

Today is National Read Across America Day! A day dedicated to enjoying a good book and spreading the love of reading nationwide. According to Scholastic, children learn an average of 4,000 to 12,000 new words every year just from reading.

With all the benefits that reading brings, the National Education Association (NEA) founded Read Across America in 1998 to help motivate children and teens to read. Now, this annual holiday has even expanded into a year-round program to provide resources for all communities.

Check out some of the ways you can celebrate reading today and all year long:
