From our SCASL President, Ida Thompson:
Today’s Read-In was awesome! A very special thank you to all of the participating schools! We had a very large contingency from many school districts. I was impressed with the all of the school T-shirts, banners, special hats and enthusiasm.Cocky and the Clemson Tiger were super and real crowd pleasers. All of the steps and the surrounding grounds of the State House were filled with energetic students. It was truly a site to behold. State Superintendent Dr. Jim Rex was most impressed. I think our message got through loud and clear today. I was pleased that he was able to attend and he asked me to be sure to invite him next year. SCASL owes a special thanks to the Debbie Anderson and the staff at the S. C. State Library. Their experience and assistance with the planning and logistics made the event a success. David Goble, the new State Library Director, embraced the event and as wso helpful today as the program moved forward. His first comment to me this morning was “Ida, what can I do to help?” I really appreciate his support. Additionally, we also owe Ann Addy and her staff at SolutionsInk a special word of thanks for coordinating the Read-In. All of the student participants are to be commended as well – the Eau Claire High School Drumline, cadets from Eau Claire, Lower and Columbia High Schools, along with the color guard from Eau Claire made the event extra special!You can view pictures from today’s Read-In on the SCASL Flickr account.
