Lake Youngs Elementary School recently invited parents and grandparents to come read to their children.

Approximately 100 parents and grandparents showed up to the special event during each session of the school’s inaugural Read In.

Children in kindergarten through the third grade read during the early session. In the afternoon, Lake Youngs’ fourth, fifth- and sixth-graders invited parents and grandparents to come play math games.

According to Principal Chris Banks, the event came to light when the school’s Learning Improvement Team came up with the idea. A few teachers on the team – Nancy Freeman, Brenda Vogel and Anna May Brennan – planned and organized the event.
