In March, community members, administrators and Board of Education trustees volunteered to share their favorite children’s books with students at Parkway Elementary School, as part of a month long “Parents as Reading Partners” celebration. The daylong activity encouraged students to become excited about literature, while supporting their reading and listening skills.
Superintendent of Schools, Louis R. DeAngelo, visited Jacki Rudin’s first-grade class and read his favorite children’s book, “I Wanna Iguana” by author Karen Kaufman Orloff. Former Superintendent of Schools Leon J. Campo, accompanied by his reading buddy “O” (a stuffed orangutan), visited Kelly Zawasky’s second-grade class to read “Bendemolena” by Jan Slepian and Ann Seidler. “A book is like a friend,” Mr. Campo told the students. “It takes you to different places on the earth.”
