The library at Richey Elementary was packed with students recently for the We Are Thankful for Books literacy initiative.
Parents and students shared a place to sit and a special book to read together.
The Books and Breakfast initiative stresses the importance of reading among students to improve their vocabulary, reading skills and their overall aptitude for learning.
“When parents participate in activities such as Books and Breakfast with their children, children learn that their education is a priority,” Mary Majumdar, Librarian, said.
