Guests from across the community celebrated Read Across America Week at Bastian Elementary. Superintendent Anthony Godfrey, Associate Superintendent Michael Anderson, Jordan School District Board First Vice President Bryce Dunford, Unified firefighters, Herriman police officers, and employees from many different Jordan School District departments visited the school. Every volunteer read a book to the students, ranging from Dr. Seuss classics like “Fox in Sox” and “Sneetches” to “Where the Wild Things Are” and “ Buffalo Fluffalo,” and then answered questions about their job and what they like about reading.
Read Across America Week aims to inspire a lifelong love for literacy in students. Thanks to everyone who took the time out of their busy schedules to show students that reading is something to embrace and love no matter where you are in life.
