There was an unforgettable "wild" reading extravaganza last night at the Harvey R. Newlin Elementary (follow their new official page!) "Wild About Reading Night" event!
Students and families enjoyed hearing stories from special guest readers like Superintendent Dr. Butler, Ben Briscoe from WFMY News 2, May Memorial Library readers, Elon University students, and Newlin staff.
In addition to storytelling adventures, there was food and "book bingo" in the cafeteria, with a chance to win some book-themed prizes. Thank you to all our amazing guest readers and families for making this community celebration of reading with Newlin so special! 📚🎉
