Reading at Twinfield

The whole elementary school was ushered into the auditorium by drummers lining the halls. Very cool!

Great Reading at Union School in Montpelier

Susan Wilson, our organizer for the reading at Union Elementary School in Montpelier on Thursday, November 8, reports:

"All in all, we read in 24 classrooms with the participation of 21 volunteers, including three Montpelier High School students (seen below) and four parents. I was especially gratified by the enthusiastic support of parents -- even those that reached out but were not able to read in a class today. Thanks so much for your time, support and hospitality. Union is clearly a wonderful and caring learning community. As someone coming in from the outside, I am grateful that I was able to experience your welcoming kindness first hand."

Here's the book table display in the hallway outside the office. The beautiful quilt was made by Janet Burke. Amazing parent volunteer Jenny Sheehan and RER Coordinator Susan Wilson at left:
