Every neighbor has a place in Iredell County's story, and the COLORING MY TOWN books bring those stories to life in FULL COLOR. From family-owned businesses and major employers to nonprofits, schools, and public agencies, CONNECT Iredell is proud to introduce the people and places of Iredell County to the children and families who call it home.
COLORING MY TOWN creates fun educational coloring books customized for our communities, featuring real local businesses, organizations, and the rich history that makes each town unique. Books are distributed free to students in grades K-6, and every page introduces a neighbor who helps Iredell County, grow, work, and care for one another.
In January 2027, Coloring Mooresville and Coloring Iredell-Statesville go home free with local elementary school students across Iredell County. Local businesses, community organizations, civic groups, and school leaders are invited to be part of them as featured community partners.
As a featured partner, you will work with the creative team to develop a customized coloring page that introduces students and families to your people, your purpose, and your role in the community. Your support is what makes the books free for every student, and it puts your story on kitchen tables across the county.

Two 2027 community coloring books. One connected Iredell County.
Coloring My Town and Connect Iredell are partnering to create two community coloring books for 2027: Coloring Mooresville and Coloring Iredell-Statesville.
Created in coordination with Mooresville Graded School District and Iredell-Statesville Schools, the books will help elementary school students color, discover and connect with the people and places that make Iredell County home.
Every local business, nonprofit organization, government agency, school, and family contributes something meaningful to our community. Through custom coloring pages, locally inspired stories, and educational activities, students will discover how their neighbors help Iredell County learn, grow, work, and care for one another. And the organizations featured in these pages become the names families know, trust, and support.
Many places. Many neighbors. One Iredell County. Color. Discover. Connect.
Know your neighbors. Support your neighbors. Be a good neighbor. Read the full announcement here.
