“Just wanted to let everyone know what an amazing success Read for the Record was last night. We could not have done it without all of your help. Here are a few highlights:
· Roughly 300 people attended, over 130 families, for pizza, a Corduroy reading, and a free book gift pack.
· We had 14 guest readers including pilots, a police officer, FDHS football players, FDHS cheerleaders, Cat in the Hat, a nurse, a paramedic, SHS wrestling coach, a radio DJ, a sign language interpreter, Mr. Atkinson, and a former Miss Summerville.
· Mrs. Garcia and Mrs. Barajas did an awesome job. They translated the invitation into Spanish and personally invited families to the event. We had a total of 20 people in their room while they read Corduroy in Spanish. These families all received a copy of the book in Spanish as well.
· I will keep you posted about the breaking of the world record as the results are reported! Keep our fingers crossed.
