Read Together, Grow Together: Supporting Classrooms in March

We believe in the power of education and the joy of reading. That’s why, during Reading Month, we’re excited to launch our Read Together, Grow Together program! Be prepared to submit your application during March of 2026.

What is the program?

ICCU will sponsor 20 classrooms by adding 10 new books to each classroom library. This initiative is our way of helping educators inspire young minds and foster a love for reading.

How does it work?

  • Teachers from Pre-K through 12th grade in eligible counties are invited to participate.

  • Submit a list of 10 books you’d love to have in your classroom library.

  • ICCU will randomly select 20 classrooms to sponsor.

  • Books will be purchased by ICCU and delivered directly to the school or made available for pickup at our Main Office.

  • Teachers selected will be notified by email in the beginning of April 2026.

Eligibility Requirements:

Teachers must:

  • Work with students in Pre-K through 12th grade

  • Teach in one of the following counties: Isabella, Clare, Osceola, Gladwin, Mecosta, Midland, Montcalm, or Gratiot
