Yesterday morning we had the opportunity to spend some time at Seminole Elementary as part of Read Across America Week, and it was truly a great way to start the day. Several members of our staff stopped by to read with the students, and the excitement from the kids made it a memorable experience for everyone involved. We appreciate the students who welcomed us into their classrooms and the teachers and staff who helped coordinate the visit. Thank you for allowing us to be part of such a meaningful program that encourages a love for reading. We always value opportunities like this to connect with our local schools and spend time with the young people in our community. Thank you again to everyone at Seminole Elementary for having us.
