Everyone wins with TEC Race into Reading submitted by Mary Hogan-Balliet This year’s Race into Reading Week had everyone revved up for reading. Every day was full of fun, engaging activities that celebrated reading.
Tricky, from our generous sponsor, Pocono Raceway, helped start the week off with a visit to our school. He greeted TEC students at the buses and made a special pit stop to see his favorite fans.
TEC bus drivers also took part in our reading week and shared their favorite books with us.
Every morning began with a special mystery reader. During our TEC Morning Announcements Show, our amazing guests read excerpts from their books. Guessing their identity was so much fun. Homerooms called in to guess and one lucky student from the winning
homeroom won the book. A special thanks to our mystery readers: Mrs. Bailor, Mrs. Korea, Mr. Mann, Mrs. Amadio, Ms. Yacuboski and Mrs. Stein. You were spectacular.
Miss Trudi, a generous benefactor from our community, visited several classes and read a special book. Our wonderful Ms. Pitzer, a retired teacher who volunteers at TEC, read to kindergarten and 6th grade.
Jeanine Hofbauer, from Pocono Organics, shared a book and provided information about organic farming. Pocono Organics donated two bags of selfgrowing mushrooms to celebrate Mrs. Aulisio’s PPL grant for hydroponic gardening. Her 5th grade class can’t wait to get
planting this spring. Marion Pyzik, PMSD School Board president, visited kindergarten and 2nd grade to read a book. The students adored her. A special thank you to these amazing women for sharing their favorite books and their love of reading. See RACE INTO READING, page 2
