Our Cole Manor leaders had a special guest reader for our monthly celebration of diverse literature, Read Across America. Thank you to our School Board of Directors Vice President, Cynthia Davenport, for reading to several of our classes today. Being a guest reader ignites excitement about literature and gives our families an opportunity to model fluent reading in English and Spanish. We look forward to our next Read Across America guest reader day
