Read Across America

BERKEELY – Central Regional Middle School Teacher Amy Adams took her 8th grade Language Arts Class to Mrs. Firetto’s Kindergarten class at H & M Potter School - her students actually asked if they could go to a local elementary school and read to younger students.

Each 8th grader chose a Dr. Seuss book that they wanted to read to the kindergarteners and afterward donated all the Dr. Suess Books to the H & M Potter School. The Kindergarten class absolutely loved it!
