Read Across America

I do so like reading books!
I will read them here and there.
Say! I will read them anywhere!

On Tuesday, March 16, President David Harswick presented ESL students at Eisenhower Elementary School a $50.00 check for their video submission for GBEA's Read Across America contest. The students turned down a pizza party to instead give the money to HEAL (Helping Elevate thru Art an Love), which is a project started by a former student who was diagosed with leukemia. 

All video submissions can be viewed at GBEA's YouTube Channel.
