Second grade was so excited to have a senior as our first Mystery Reader of the year! Brenna's read aloud of Sylvester & the Magic Pebble was engaging! As her former 2nd grade teacher, Jessica Kaspar felt so proud to have her reading to her current students. The students loved Brenna's story and came up with some wishes of their own. Brenna was happy to share her story with 2nd grade and enjoyed her experience. "It's part of my senior bucket list, and got that checked off," Brenna reports. Second grade is cheering her on in her senior year and we hope that she inspires more high school students to be our Mystery Reader.
