| | For the the past 9 years I have been a reading specialist for both Evergreen and Springview schools. This year, due to some internal changes, I am servicing just Evergreen Elementary. During this time I have had the privilege of helping many struggling students become confident and successful readers and writers. Not wanting these students to lose what they have learned during the school year, I then, became involved with the Amazing Reading Bus which promotes reading during the summer months. I am so grateful that our community has supported this project which enables our students to read all summer long! ˜Linda Lutke | |
