BOARD MEMBER BRINGS STORIES TO LIFE FOR PRESCHOOLERS
This week, our preschoolers had a special treat when Michael Donahue, a dedicated member of our board, joined us for a lively reading session. The excitement was palpable as the young learners gathered around, eager to hear the stories unfold.
With a warm smile and animated expressions, Michael brought the characters to life, captivating the children with every turn of the page. The room was filled with giggles, gasps, and wide-eyes.
Reading to children is not just about sharing stories; it’s about fostering a love for books and sparking imaginations. We are incredibly grateful for Stark & Stark’s time and enthusiasm. It’s moments like these that create lasting memories and inspire a lifelong love of reading in our young learners.
Thank you, for making story time an unforgettable experience for our preschoolers! We can’t wait for our next visit!
