Students, faculty and staff at McNinch Primary School participated in Jumpstart’s 19th Annual Read for the Record Day. The Pre-K through second-grade students were lucky to have community members come to their classrooms to read the book. Teachers received activities that coordinate with the book for nonfiction reading and writing.
