State Trooper Story Time

Every year, Rhode Island State Troopers visit schools across the state to participate in educational programs for children from kindergarten through high school. State Trooper Story Time was launched so that Troopers could read to Rhode Island’s littlest learners and share some of their favorite children’s books while schools are closed and distance learning is in place.

New stories will be added every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1:00 PM for the remainder of the school year.
