Many many thanks to each of the readers!  The kids always enjoy having their parent/grandparent read to them.  Thank you again.  (One of my daughters teaches first grade on the west side of the state and every year she always puts out an offer to her families to be a guest reader.  Each year she has 1-2 parents who offer to read.  This year I had 28 readers in here.  A couple were parents of former students of mine and their kids don’t even attend Howard anymore!  The kids are at Bryant or DHS.  Isn’t that a wonderful show of the value of reading!)
