Thanks to school librarian Stefany Guido from Alexandria's Patrick Henry Elementary School...
...these fourth graders took part in "Plant a Seed...Read!" During this RIF of NOVA book distribution, the children made bookmarks about seeds, plants, and spring flowers, and many chose books with thoughts of spring planting in mind!

Randolph Elementary School's Janette Mason...
...invited Clifford for Read Across America Day! Clifford greeted students and families with a wave and a hug. Guest readers from the local community and the military visited the Arlington school to share their love of reading. Younger students picked RIF books featuring Max and Ruby and Pete the Cat. The older set went for novels, nonfiction titles, and fantasy.
