Thank you to our Guest Readers! \u00a0The students enjoy having their family member read to their classmates.<\/p>\n

Today we had lots of Dearborn High School football team players come in for a visit. \u00a0Many of them have been in my class when they were a Kindergartener and they love to be back in the room. \u00a0“Every thing is so small in here!”<\/p>\n

Anyway, 3 young men read to our class.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the players is Alex Moustafa, Maya’s big brother! \u00a0I’m sorry that I didn’t get the names of the other 2 readers but here are their plans after next year’s graduation…<\/p>\n

The young man on the far left wants to be a Marine Biologist. \u00a0Alex wants to be an astronaut and the reader on the right wants to play for the NFL. \u00a0It is so gratifying to see these people and hear of their future plans. \u00a0Thank you to these players for giving up their class time to come and read to us and encourage READING!!<\/p>\n

Th last picture is the Kindergarteners vs. DHS Football Players. \u00a0The tallest player is a former student of mine, Zane Berry<\/p>\n
