Congratulations to everyone involved in making the Summer Reading Program a success. The true winners are each and every student who spent time this past summer enjoying a good book! Reading is one of life’s great pleasures.
It looks like the teachers are making pleanty of money, they just need to stop spending it all on food.
At least the teachers arn’t subjected to Michelle’s school lunch program of crap, with a slide of crap, severed on a bed of crap.
@Wow, you are a mean person & FYI most of the people pictured are not teachers. I think you should try reading some books. You write and spell like you are illiterate.
Congrats to all the schools and students!
Just my CRAZY observation. Its “STUDENTS” Reading Program. Yet with 3 photographs filled with adults, we see only 2 kids? I guess congratulations goes out to the ADULTS for reading all SUMMER!! LOL
