NSP hires students to support Cool Classics!, a program that focuses on classic literature at the kindergarten through third-grade levels in NSP partner schools. Cool Classics! works with public elementary school students to promote critical thinking and a love of literature. They focus on just one classic book at a time, and in 20 to 25 sessions of varied activities, they build a universe of art, culture, humanities, and thematic ideas around that book. Literally, students are led to experience how the text of a book opens up a whole world of creative imagination, sharpening the skills one needs for succeeding in the real world.
