September 16, 2024 - Reading together is a cornerstone of early literacy, and CSX is excited to partner with the Military Child Education Coalition to support military families in embracing this vital practice. On August 27, CSX joined forces with our new community partner for the kickoff of the Tell Me A Story reading event at Chimney Lakes Elementary in Jacksonville, Fla.
During the event, CSX Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Sean Pelkey, along with several members of the ONE CSX team, delighted students by reading aloud and surprising families with a copy of the featured book. Following the reading, CSX employees facilitated guided discussion groups, helping families learn how to use stories as a tool for meaningful discussions that enhance student learning.
