Amanda McCraw, Superintendent Panoche School

"The event was fantastic! Our families loved it, and the kids are thrilled with the books! I had one student bring a chapter book back in today that she got last night so she can continue it during reading time today. One of our younger students was super excited to tell me his mom read him an alien book last night and he was able to tell me the entire plot (a huge deal for him!)

 

What really stood out was how much the parents got out of it too. I think they really took it to heart. They left with solid strategies for building literacy at home, which is exactly what we needed. Thank you for making it all happen!"
