Our first Virtual Family Reading Night was a huge success! We had over 100 families participate. Thank you to those who attended, especially the @ToddParr session. Todd's books, with messages of equity and acceptance, loving yourself, etc are ever so very important.

Todd Parr's books, with messages of equity and acceptance, loving yourself for who you are, hope and peace, etc. have been and are especially now, so very important for our kids and parents alike.
