Usher!

Today we participated in a live webcast with the singer, Usher. This opportunity was sponsored by Scholastic Books. The focus was on the importance of learning to read and all the possibilities inspired by reading. Usher read the book, If Kids Ran the World. It was a wonderful story that tied in with our school's Community of Caring program. The webcast ended with a performance of the song, Without You.  It was a wonderful and energizing experience!
