Century CI Employees Read To Jay Elementary Students

March 13, 2012

Representatives from Century Correctional Institution read to a class at Jay Elementary School recently as part of Read Across America Day.

Read Across America Day, the signature program of the National Education Association, focuses on motivating children and teens to read through events, partnerships and reading resources.  It’s held annual on or near Dr. Seuss’ birthday.

Century Correctional’s Assistant Warden Robert Flores and Officer Tony deGraaf read to Mrs. deGraaf’s kindergarten class at Jay Elementary School as part of the program. They read the popular Seuss book Green Eggs and Ham and gave each student a special treat. They also expressed the importance of learning to read and of a good education.

    These students have a very special lady for a teacher, which gives them a good foundation for reading. Look at their faces…just so smart. Thanks to the CI gentlemen who took their time to read a wonderful book to the class.
