Students, Faculty, Staff 'Get Caught Reading'
|
The Foote community stopped what it was doing Wednesday morning to take a half hour to read. Teachers, students, the nurse, the Admissions staff, Development, Maintenance, even the front desk staff pulled out books and read as part of Foote's focus on literacy. As Dr. Seuss wrote in "I Can Read With My Eyes Shut," "The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go."
