First graders in Mrs. Lasher’s class at Barnum Woods Elementary School in East Meadow were treated to a special guest reader on Valentine’s Day.
Superintendent of Schools Kenneth Rosner visited the class and read the book, “The Bear Under the Stairs” by Helen Cooper. The book is a charming story about a child’s imagination and learning how to overcome a childhood fear. Afterward, Mr. Rosner gifted Mrs. Lasher’s class with a gift card to Barnes & Nobles and the book, “There's a Monster in Your Book” by Tom Fletcher.
Additionally, first graders gifted Mr. Rosner with their own Valentine’s Day messages.
