Proctor sworn in as new Police Chief By Loretta Cozart On Friday, February 1 at 3 pm, Lisa Proctor was sworn-in by Mayor Scott Neisler as Kings Mountain's first woman Police Chief. Proctor placed her hand on the Bible and swore to "enforce all laws of the city, state, and nation, so help me God," during the induction ceremony. City Manager Marilyn Sellers charged the Chief with her duties and responsibilities, admonishing her to set high standards professionally leading the department and relying on God for guidance. She also charged city employees to pledge their support. Hundreds filled the city
hall council chambers to witness this historic event Friday afternoon. Proctor's husband, former Kings Mountain Police Chief Melvin Proctor, pinned on the Chief's badge as friends, family, city employees, and guests looked on. In attendance were Sheriff Alan Norman, Sheriff Alan Cloninger, Gastonia Police Chief Joseph Ramey, Cleveland County District Attorney Mike Miller, and three former Kings Mountain Police Chiefs: Richard Reynolds, Houston Corn, and Melvin Proctor. Proctor, who was promoted to Interim Chief after the passing of Chief Tessneer in 2018, is a 26-year
employee of the city who was promoted through the ranks of the Kings Mountain Police Department. She joined the department as a patrolman March 30, 1992, until becoming the D.A.R.E officer at the city's elementary schools for the next three years. In 2016 Proctor became the first female Lieutenant supervising all Criminal Investigations at the Kings Mountain Police Department. Chief Tessneer promoted Proctor to Assistant Chief on October 30, 2017. A reception honoring Chief Proctor was held in the lobby of Kings Mountain City Hall following the ceremony.

One of the most enduring shows of all time, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a reimagining of the Biblical story of Joseph, his father Jacob, eleven brothers and the coat of many colors. According to the Andrew Lloyd Webber’s website, “In the summer of 1967, he was asked by Alan Doggett, head of the Music Department at Colet Court, St Paul’s Junior School to write a ‘pop cantata’ for the school choir to sing at their Easter end of term concert. Andrew immediately approached his friend Tim Rice to ask if he would write lyrics for the project. After toying with ideas about spies, 007′s and the like, Tim suggested the story of Joseph. “Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” was released as a concept album in 1969.

Groundhog predicts early spring By Loretta Cozart On February 2, the groundhog didn’t see his shadow and predicted an early spring. As tradition goes, if the groundhog sees his shadow, he gets scared and retreats to his burrow and winter continues for six more weeks. If he doesn’t, you can begin preparing for the spring. Since the tradition began, Punxsutawney Phil’s predictions haven’t been very accurate, says the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. According to them, “Phil has ‘no predictive skill,’ and has been accurate 40 percent of the time.” Like many holidays, this one came from prior celebrations occurring on or near the same day. The Gaelic celebrated Imbolc as the beginning of spring in Ireland, Scotland, and the Isle of Man. This pagan celebration acknowledged the lengthening of days and participants lighted candles to represent the power of the sun. In the Catholic faith, February 2 is the Feast of the Presentation of Jesus Christ in the Temple, or the Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary and occurs forty days after Epiphany. In many European countries, this day also marks the end of their celebration of Christmas.
The Cloutier Sisters Another Catholic celebration on February 2 is Candlemas Day. Christians consider Jesus as the “light of the world” so many parishioners had their candles blessed on this day. Candlemas Day was also an important day in agricultural societies, because it marked the midpoint of winter, halfway between the shortest day of the year and the spring equinox. It gave people hope for an early spring, helping them prepare for the coming work ahead. An English folk song highlights the importance of the weather on Candlemas Day: If Candlemas be fair and bright, Come, Winter, have another flight; If Candlemas brings clouds and rain, Go Winter and come not
again. When groups from around the world immigrated to the United States, they brought with them their holidays and traditions. And traditions, like Candlemas Day continued. It was the Germans who are credited with attaching an animal to this tradition. Prior to arriving in America, they used the hedgehog to predict the coming of spring. Once here, they chose the groundhog as the creature to predict the coming of spring, according to www.history.com. And so, the story of the groundhog began. Whether you believe Punxsutawney Phil’s prediction or not, it is nice to think of warmer days ahead. Considering his lackluster prediction record so far, it is advisable to keep a warm coat nearby just in case.
Library presents Jackie Robinson Feb. 26
Cloutier sisters present the “Life of Jesus” By Loretta Cozart On January 27, the Cloutier family of Kings Mountain presented a program about the Life of Jesus Christ at New Life Christian Church in Kings Mountain.

When Coach Howard McLeod experienced the presentation at the Cloutier’s home, he asked the family to share it with the members of his church. The Cloutier’s agreed. According to Ron and

Adelle Cloutier, “The program is adapted from ‘The Stations of the Infant Jesus - the Way of Bethlehem’ and were written by St Alphonsus de Liguori. “The presentations consist of an introduction to the specific station, a consideration to think or meditate about that particular aspect or event in the life of the infant Christ, a song and acting of how that scene may have been lived by Jesus, and the recitation of a brief communal prayer,” the parents explain. The Cloutier's “open with a song to bring the audience to an inner quiet and more contemplative
place within each's own spirit and heart, and after the closing prayer is read, they sing a final song leaving the audience to consider where each one is in his or her own relationship with the Lord. The entire presentation lasts about an hour.” The Cloutier sisters presenting at both at New Life Christian Church and the Cloutier’s home this year are Jessica, Samantha, Joanna, Macrina and Bernadette. Coach Howard McLeod commented that “the presentation left a lasting impression on the church members.”

Bible Verses Of The Week For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.

Recycling reminder Beginning February 1, the City of Kings Mountain changed its recycling policies and the items they allow you to recycle. Last year the city was notified that their recycling handler Sonoco would be closing their doors on January 31. With this news, the city quickly located a new vendor to handle the recyclables and Republic Waste Services agreed to a six-month contract which then renews month-tomonth. Many items once considered desirable for recycling are
no longer wanted. As a result, those items became a burden to dispose of, so recycling companies charge cities additional fees to accept specific items. The city asks citizens to only recycle clean newspaper, office paper, unwaxed cardboard, aluminum cans, steel cans and plastic bottles (without the lids) in your blue can.
Citizens are asked to place plastic bags (including grocery bags), lids from plastic bottles, glass bottles or containers, pizza boxes, Styrofoam, waxed cardboard and plastic take-out containers in your green bin. If you have questions, contact the Public Works Department at 704-734-0735.

Kaylon Wade to play football at Catawba Kings Mountain’s Kaylon Wade today will sign to play his collegiate football at Catawba College in Salisbury. Wade is Kings Mountain’s all-time career passing and total offense leader, having passed 2006-08 star Michael Roberts’ record during the past season. He holds records for most TD passes in a single season (42), most TD passes in a career (73), most total offense in a season (4,061), most yards passing in a season (3,179) and most total offense in a career (7,758). Wade said he was impressed with the Indians’ head coach and offensive coordinator and feels they
can help him achieve his goals there. The Indians, who went 4-7 in the South Atlantic Conference last season, are coached by Curtis Walker, a former Catawba player. “I just felt like they showed the most interest in me,” Wade said. “I really think I can progress my game there. The only difference in their offense and ours (at Kings Mountain High) is they are more of a no huddle West Coast offense.” Wade, who is presently starting for the KMHS basketball team, said he will get back into football mode as soon as basketball is over.
“I would just love to go in there (Catawba) and compete,” he says. “If my opportunity comes I want to make the most of it.” Wade has a weight lifting class at KMHS and said he wants to work with the football team after school is out to keep his strength and conditioning up. Wade, who played quarterback in middle school and high school JVs, was starting at receiver and defensive back his sophomore year when regular QB Darren Burns tore his ACL midway of the season. Wade was pressed into starting duty and was able to throw for over 1,000 yards.
He was All-Conference his junior and senior seasons, and this year was the Big South Conference Offensive Player of the Year. Those honors, and winning the Big South last season, were great, he said, but the thing he is most proud of is that the Mountaineers beat county rival Crest each of the past three years. “I think that was a big accomplishment, especially with it being 18 years since we had beaten them,” Wade said. “That, and winning the conference last year against Hunter Huss was great.” Wade wasn’t supposed to play in that game at Huss. A week earlier he injured his ankle against North
Gaston. John Harmon Melton got the start at Huss and played very well, but he suffered a broken jaw that put him out for the rest of the season. No one expected Wade on the field. When Coach Greg Lloyd called for him, he was as surprised as anyone in the stadium. He was literally playing on one leg, taking snaps from the shotgun and either handing the ball off to running back Ricaylen Mack or throwing passes. “I was just hoping I could do my best and not mess up,” he said. “I didn’t think I would get in that game. I was limping pretty bad. But Ricaylen had a big
part and the rest of the team blocked well for him and protected me.” His personal accomplishments, he said, were also possible because of his teammates. “If it weren’t for them keeping me protected, and Kobe (Paysour) and Chris (Brittain) making the big plays, it would not have happened,” he said. “Having back-to-back 12 win seasons is just a big accomplishment,” he added. “I can only thank my teammates and coaches for putting their trust in me. I am not the biggest, but a lot of people had faith in me and I appreciate it.”
Stars shine bright at football banquet The stars came out for last week’s Kings Mountain High School football banquet at First Baptist Church. A large crowd applauded as all JV and varsity players were introduced, and when many of them took home some awards that they will remember from their outstanding 2018 season when they went 12-3 and played for the Western North Carolina championship. Awards ranging from All-Conference, All County, All Area to All-State and All-American were presented. For the first time since 1955, the Mountaineers had a first team sophomore All-American, Kobe Paysour, who is already being recruited by some of the top colleges in America. Paysour received the Offensive MVP Award after having probably the best season ever for a sophomore. He set numerous receiving records for catches, yards, receiving touchdowns and also had a school record 103-yard pass interception for a touchdown. “He is a dynamic player,” offensive coordinator Kevin Cruise said of Paysour. “His future is off the chart. He has a 4.0 grade point average with a majority of honor classes. The best game he had, he didn’t even score. We had a bunch of unselfish guys who blocked hard for each other. “He is a true team player. He’s the first guy to celebrate when a teammate does something well. He tied a county record for touchdowns. I can’t wait until next year.” Senior quarterback Kaylon Wade, the Mountaineers’
all-time total offense leader, was named the team’s MVP. “There’s no denying who our MVP was,” noted head coach Greg Lloyd. “The last three years he has done everything that’s imaginable to be the best he could be. “He is an excellent role model on and off the field. He set school records. Last year he led us to the conference championship and this year to the Western finals. Last year he played three games on one leg and led us to the conference championship, and this year he was the Big South Offensive Player of the Year.” And, many other players were honored with the traditional trophies that have gone to outstanding players since the very first football banquet – then sponsored by the Lions Club – in 1953. That year, and for many years thereafter, the only trophy given was the Fred Plonk Blocking Trophy, which lasts until this day. Others receiving awards were: -Defensive back award, James Ussery. Coach Darrel Wilson called Ussery “tough minded – he answered the challenge every week. He covered the other team’s best receiver every week.” Ussery finished with 57 tackles, one tackle for loss, had three forced fumbles, two interceptions and blocked five points. -Defensive line award, Zach Crawford. Coach Michael Kennedy noted that Crawford started every game. “He brought a lot of energy and created a lot of turnovers.” Crawford, a junior, had

Photos by Gary Smart 82 tackles, 13 sacks, 22 tackles for loss, three forced fumbles, and three fumble recoveries. -Jeff Putnam linebacker award, Dameon Wilson. Wilson, who like Paysour is receiving numerous college offers, was presented the award in memory of the late linebacker coach from Coach Lloyd and assistant Tom Lease, Putnam’s widow Sharon Putnam and their son Tanner, a former Mountaineer. “He wears two halos,” noted Coach Lease. “He has started two years. He
is a very good sophomore linebacker. He’s going to be a super good junior linebacker.” -Most improved on defense, Javari Rice-Wilson. “We lost a lot of seniors on the defensive line,” noted Coach Kennedy. “We needed a lot of guys to step up, and he did. Our goal was to have 50 sacks and we did it. On week six he had four; he finished with eleven.” -Defensive MVP, Jeremiah “Pork Chop” Brown. “He was a natural, quiet leader,” noted Coach Wilson, “but he became really

He always had to fight off double teams, but still made the effort to get to the ball every time. He was a good leader.” -Fred Plonk Blocking Trophy, D.J. Bagwell. Coach Cruise noted that “we had a bunch of guys that worked for the betterment of the team. We expect a lot out of them. I like a bunch up there that will get after it, fight and bleed. There’s not a lot of fun stuff I say to them. They have their fun when someone else goes
into the end zone.” Cruise pointed out that Bagwell graded out 84 percent and had 27 pancake blocks. -Offensive back award, Ricaylen Mack. Coach Mike Harris presented the award to Mack, who missed all or part of seven games because of an injury but still gained over 1,200 yards for the second year in a row. “We knew we had the makeup of an explosive offense, but he went down in See BANQUET, Page 2B

You have to have someone like him that can move the ball to close out games.” -Wide receiver award, Christopher Brittain. Assistant coach Jeff Lineberger presented the award, noting that he first Brittain in the seventh grade when he weighed 105 pounds but was determined to be a good football player. Brittain gained over 700 yards receiving, made AllBig South Conference, and also excelled as a punt and kick returner and often threw passes out of the backfield. -Most improved offense, James Parsons.

He improved more than anybody I’ve seen from the beginning to the end of his junior year.” -Special teams player of the year, Nathan Groves. “Special teams players can make a difference in the outcome of a game,” noted Coach Harris. “He always
played with an attitude. If you kicked the ball to his side he’d always get on the football.” -Coaches awards, Marquis Fewell and John Harmon Melton. “Marquis did everything we asked of him, and he did it with a smile on his face,” Coach Lloyd said. “He’s going to have a wonderful future playing college football. “John Harmon’s gone through a lot the last two years. He’s very versatile but saw limited playing time due to injuries both years. He would have had a phenomenal two years if he hadn’t gotten hurt. Most people in his shoes would had said ‘no more football’ but he didn’t do that. He came to every practice and did whatever he could to help the team.” -Tough Man Award, Holden Turner. “There’s no denying who would get this award,” said Coach Lloyd. “Holden has played since the ninth grade. He was hard-nosed, determined and a good influence on his teammates. He tore his ACL in the Stuart Cramer game but came back and played, then tore his other ACL in the Burns game. He’s the only man I’ve ever known to play a season – or a game for that matter – with two torn ACLs. -Weightlifter of the Year, Jeremiah Brown.

Brown “the strongest high school player I’ve ever been around.” Many coaches spoke about the recipients, as well as others, who made the 2018 season so memorable and already has coaches, players and fans anticipating another big run come fall. Defensive coordinator Darrel Wilson spoke highly of all of his players, noting that he will have five starters returning in the fall. “These guys are something special,” he noted. “We started with a lot of young guys and only one returner, Pork Chop Brown. Most of them had to learn on the job.” Offensive coordinator Kevin Cruise also spoke highly of his group. “We had an exceptional
group of guys,” he said. “They were good in all phases of the game. All were really good athletes that worked together on and off the field. “In the early summer we were struggling, but I knew we had the potential to be good. We had the best offense in school history with a record 601 points, an average of over 40 per game. We gained the most yards ever with over 6,000 and averaged over 400 yards per game. When you get 400 yards a game you’re doing something. Everybody had a big part in it – offense, special teams and defense.” Players receiving allcounty and/or all-area honors included Chris Brittain, Pork Chop Brown, Zach Crawford, Marquis Fewell,
Ricaylen Mack, Nathan Groves, James Parsons, Belton Pressley, Holden Turner, James Ussery, Isaac Watson, Xavier Brown, Kaylon Wade, Kobe Paysour, Day Day Wilson and DJ Bagwell. Players receiving All Big South Conference awards were Dameon Wilson, Kobe Paysour, Kaylon Wade, DJ Bagwell, Ricaylen Mack, Zach Crawford, Christopher Brittain and Jeremiah Brown. Seniors receiving personalized Bibles from the Kings Mountain Optimist Club were Christopher Brittain, John Harmon Melton, Joe Ruffalo, Eli Paysour, Holden Turner and Kaylon Wade.

Third quarter defense keys KM sweep of Wildcats Both Kings Mountain varsity teams turned close halftime games into a rout with a third quarter dominating defense that resulted in a Big South sweep of North Gaston Tuesday night at Parker Gym. The Lady Mountaineers led by just five points at the break but outscored the Lady Cats 14-3 in the third period en route to a 64-44 victory. The Mountaineers were on top by just 32-23 at the half but outscored the Wildcats 20-5 in the third quarter and went on to a 68-51 victory. The North Gaston ladies, who were the pre-sea-
son choice to win the Big South, led only briefly early in the first quarter but rallied late in the second period to trim the KM lead to one before KM rallied for a 31-26 lead at the break. Kings Mountain’s defense completely shut off North Gaston’s three-point offensive attack in the second half and the offense rolled behind an outstanding overall performance by all of its players. Freshman Saniya Wilson contributed 23 points and 12 rebounds, senior Hannah Clark 18 points, three rebounds and four assists; senior Sarah Drennan
10 points and three boards; Kennedy Barnes seven rebounds; Aaliyah Byers six points and six rebounds; and Niya Kelly four points and five rebounds. Byers scored off an assist from Clark with four seconds left in the third to give the Lady Mountaineers a 45-29 lead going into the final eight minutes. Buckets by Clark and Wilson in the first minute of the fourth quarter increased the lead to 49-29 and the lead never got below 15 again. North was forced into a fouling situation and free throws by Wilson, Essence Houser and Clark in the
final two minutes put the win in the bag. The Mountaineer defense put the brakes on North scoring ace Spencer Brittin, who finished the game with 13 points but had just one in the second half. Savannah Baldwin and Sarah Grace Hayes had three treys each and finished with 10 points each. It was KM’s third straight win over the Lady Cats, with one coming in the East Lincoln Christmas tournament and the other a one-point win in an earlier BSC game in Dallas. The Mountaineers continued to get outstanding play from all of its play-
ers, led by seniors Zeke Littlejohn and Eli Paysour with 27 and 16 points, respectively, and sophomore point guard Kobe Paysour with 11 points, 12 rebounds, four assists and four steals. Littlejohn pulled down 16 rebounds. Tyrese McNeal led the Wildcats with 18 points but the Mountaineer defense shut him out in the third quarter. In JV action, Kings Mountain’s boys remained undefeated in the Big South with a 45-43 victory. There was no JV girls game. Weston Hughes and Marcus Odums led the Mountaineers with 16
points each. GIRLS GAME KM (64) – Byers 6, Drennan 10, Clark 18, Wilson 22, Houser 3, Kelly 4, Barnes 1. NG (44)- Camp 8, Brittin 13, Baldwin 10, Hayes 10, Simmons , Good 2.

KM girls beat Huss, still unbeaten in BSC Kings Mountain’s girls kept their unbeaten conference record intact but the boys suffered their first loss in a Big South doubleheader at Hunter Huss Friday night. The Lady Mountaineers took all the bite out of the Lady Huskies with an 85-32 victory to run their record to 10-0 in the BSC and 16-2 overall. But, the Huss men had a lot of bite left, outscoring the Moun-
taineers 27-14 in the fourth quarter to take a 73-63 victory and drop the Mountaineers into a tie for first place with Ashbrook. Kings Mountain was at Ashbrook last night. A win would give the KM ladies at least a tie for the BSC championship heading down the stretch run of the regular season, but an Ashbrook win would drop the KM men to second place with three regular season
games remaining. The Lady Mountaineers are seeking their first conference title since 1983 while Ashbrook ladies are hoping to keep alive their hopes for a third straight crown. The Hunter Huss ladies were able to keep the game close early, trailing by just 11-9 after the first quarter. But first year KM coach Nicholas Inman got an incredible all-around effort

from all of his players who built a 40-18 halftime lead and were out front 71-29 going into the fourth quarter. Everybody in the KM lineup played some of their best basketball of the year, led by senior star Hannah Clark with 27 points, three steals and four assists. Freshman Shaniya Wilson also continued her allaround strong play with 17 points, three steals and three rebounds. Freshman Aaliyah Byers had perhaps her best game. She had a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Senior Sarah Drennan also scored 10 to give the Lady Mountaineers four players in double digits. Niya Kelly continued her strong inside play with
seven points and seven boards. Kennedy Barnes had four points and five rebounds and Essence Houser and Aleenih Carlter-Kee contributed four points apiece. Nautkia Falls was the only double-digit scorer for Huss with 12 points. The Mountaineers led most of the way before the Huskies took control in the final quarter. A big difference was that the Mountaineers had shooting woes from the charity stripe, hitting just 11 of 22 attempts. Senior standout Zeke Littlejohn led the offense with a game-high 22 points. Kobe Paysour added 16 and Eli Paysour 14. Kings Mountain led by as many as nine points in the second half before the
Huskies began their comeback. The Huskies took their first lead since the first quarter when Deaven Lowery scored a three-point play for a 51-49 lead with seven minutes remaining. Dontavius Nash led the Huss attack with 16 points. Zo Wallace added 14, Trent Ostrander 12 and Deneil Mackins 11. In JV action, the Kings Mountain girls won 41-17 to run their record to 5-1 in the Big South and 6-4 overall. Treazure Hopper led the way with 20 points. Brooke Ferree added nine, Monica Head and Yasmaine Robinson four each, Marlee Arnold three, Nikki Wells two and Daraniah Chambers one.

African-American History Tribute The “Making of A Museum” The Planning Board of the African American Museum of History and Culture at Loray Mill is holding an event February 16th at 10am. The making of a Museum Ceremony is an event to commemorate Black History month and the history of Loray Mill. Loray Mill was subject to a massive labor strike after owners tried to reduce labor costs and maintain production levels. The goals of the strike were a minimum weekly wage of $20, equal pay for women and children, and elimination of the stretch-out system (assigning more tasks to fewer workers). There was also an emphasis on racial integra-
tion between white and black workers during the strike. One worker, Ella Mae Wiggins, was a composer of ballads and a major inspiration for the strike. Sadly, she was shot and killed by supporters of the mill on September 14th 1929. A mother of five, her death sent a lasting wave throughout the movement. Ella Mae Wiggins was buried in the Bessemer City Memorial Cemetery on North 12th St. The words “She died carrying the torch of Social Justice” are written on her gravestone. Also featured in the museum will be Bessemer City Councilmen David Smith and Councilwoman Kay MCcathen.
City Crews will remove all arrangements from both Memorial and Vantine cemeteries during the clean-up week Monday, February 25- Thursday, February 28. If you have lots in the city cemeteries and they need to be filled, or other
maintenance taken care of please call Adora at the Kiser Senior center at 704-729-6465 and a work order will be done for any maintenance the city performs. Please note, the city cannot repair the brick walls surrounding the older lots.

Cuddle up with a good book By Angel McCray (Grover Elementary Title I / MTSS Coordinator / Tier 3 Reading Interventionist)
What is a great activity to do at school when it is cold outside in the winter months? Why, Cuddle Up With A Good Book in your pajamas, of course!!! That is just what Grover Elementary students did for their January Title I Parent and Family Engagement activity. Each student was able to spend time reading their new self-selected book with their parent, family member or friend while cuddled up with their brand new blanket. Prior to the beginning of our event, teachers shared appropriate grade level reading strategies with parents which could be prac-
ticed during the event. Kindergarten and first grade parents learned to help their child “Take Action and Solve Words” when encountering a word their child may not know while reading. Each parent received an iREAD apps handout with the various strategy reminders such as: Lips the Fish, Chunky Monkey, Skip It Frog, Stretchy Snake, Eagle Eye, Flippy Dolphin and Tryin’ Lion. Students in these grades received a picture book mark to help them remember these strategies as well. Second through fourth grade parents were presented scaffolding strategies to use when reading with and / or questioning their child about a particular story. Teachers demonstrated the strategies for the target areas for

these grades which included characters, setting, plot and connections made with a story. Parents received a literature scaffolding handout entitled “Level Up” which targets the four questioning levels. Students in these grades received a bookmark of reading strategies that correlated to their reading level. Each parent also received a copy of “Before - During After” reading questions that could be applied for fiction and non-fiction books. This handout was particularly interesting because it also incorporated ways it could be used outside of stories such as movies, cartoons, comedy shows, factual animal shows, recipes, invitations, and history shows. After parent presentations were complete, fam-
ilies could move about the school and read together. Some chose to stay in the classroom or hallways outside of the classroom. Others who had multiple siblings at Grover we able to use the library to read together. Parents were encouraged to read to their child while also having students read to their parents. Mrs Linda King, Principal of Grover Elementary, shared that this event is always popular with parents and students alike. “It truly was a well-attended event. It was wonderful to see families snuggled up and reading together! Students were so excited about getting their very own book and blanket to take home!”
