22News celebrates Community Reading Day in Ware
WARE, Mass. (WWLP) – This past Sunday, March 2nd was Dr. Suess' Birthday and in honor of his birthday many area schools have been holding Community Reading Days.
22News Storm Team Meteorologist Adam Strzempko and Reporter Julia O'Keefe took part in Community Reading Day in Ware.
'It's a great event that I have been able to take part in for a number of years now,' says Strzempko.
'Reading was a real important part of my life growing up so to be able to give back to my community and come back and read to these kids today is very special especially to teach them how important reading is even from a young age,' O'Keefe adds. 'It helps with your vocabulary, it makes you more accustomed to the world around you, and it continues to help you learn all the time.'
Community Reading Day in Ware was also a favorite tradition of late 22News reporter Sy Becker. An addition to reading to the students, I also talked to them about the weather and television.
