National Young Readers Day (NYRD) was celebrated at Washington Intermediate on Tuesday, November 13. Several celebrity readers entertained 4th and 5th grade students by sharing some of their favorite books. Several parents volunteered to read in Mrs. Guinn's class and Red Oak CSD superintendent, Mr. Schmidt, read to Ms. Chelsvig's students. Mrs. Timmerman even had a former student, Marsha Fleming, read in her room. NYRD was co-founded in 1989 by Pizza Hut and a division of the Library of Congress to recognize the joys and benefits of reading. Students from all over the country set aside this special day annually to celebrate reading, one of life's most important and greatest pleasures.
A big thank you to Mrs. Burnison for setting this up for our building and for being Washington's "Everyday-Celebrity-Reading-Specialist"!
