Rotarians have returned to the classroom over the last month to read and donate books to Kindergarten and grades 1, 2 and 3 in Derby Shelton. This is the Club’s annual participation in the Read Across America effort. Though the official day for the event was March 2 this year, Club members spread the duties over several weeks in getting to so many classrooms in Derby and Shelton. The national date for the event comes from the birthdate of Theodor Seuss Geisel, the author of the Dr. Seuss books. Kim Caro coordinate the program and selected the books that Rotarians read to the classes and then left behind for the libraries in each of the schools.
Rotarians who read this year included:
Pat Tarasaovic – Irving School
Ernie Luise – Holy Trinity
Phoebe Gonzales and Rosemary Allen – Mohegan School
Lorraine Inzerra and Kim Caro – Booth Hill School
Mike Wynne – Sunnyside School
Jack Walsh – St. Mary/St. Michael School
Matt McGee and Linda Holmes-Hannon – Bradley School
