Union County Public Schools is wild about reading during the month of March! Since 2017, UCPS has celebrated
literacy through the Books and Brackets reading challenge. For five weeks, during March Madness, elementary schools find
creative ways to inspire the love of reading for third-, fourth-, and fifth-grade students.
As students participate in Books and Brackets, they are eligible to secure spots in the Terrific 30, Sweet 16, Elite 8 and Final 4
teams. The winning school will be announced at a pep rally on Friday, April 1 at Wingate University.
Books and Brackets is one of the most exciting events in UCPS. Students, teachers, parents, principals, staff and community
members all partner to make this program a success.
We hope you will consider joining the celebration. The following sponsorship opportunities are available to support the
reading challenge. All proceeds will benefit reading initiatives at the winning schools. For more information,
