Students from Clinton and Oak Hills elementaries were among eight schools invited to the Utah State Capitol for the first statewide Utah Reads Read-A-Thon, according to a Davis School District notice dated October 2, 2026. The event celebrated the students' previous efforts regarding summer reading and read-a-thon activities.
During the event in the Capitol rotunda, students spent one hour reading and heard from Utah First Lady Abby Cox regarding the importance of reading. Participants also received a book to take home and enjoyed donuts.
This event was part of a statewide initiative to encourage families, communities, and students to dedicate time to reading. The Utah Reads Read-A-Thon expected more than 275,000 students and adults to participate through various libraries, businesses, organizations, and schools across the state.
The invitation for Clinton and Oak Hills students followed their work in building literacy skills, which assists students in developing comprehension, vocabulary, and knowledge across all subjects.
