This week, we were honored to welcome quite a few guest readers. We had School Resource Officer Sgt. Combs read "A Police Officerβs Night Before Christmas," and Hannibal Fire Department's Training Officer Mark Kempker read "A Firefighterβs Night Before Christmas." We also had SSG Sally Clayton from the 3175th Military Police Company read "A Soldier's Night Before Christmas," Beau Vieman from Gracie Barra Hannibal read "The Grinch," and a delightful Tom and Becky duo read "There Was an Old Lady Who Built a Snowman" and "A Pirate's Night Before Christmas."
A special shoutout to the Hannibal Free Public Library for sending Ms. Amber and Ms. Sena to read "Polar Express" and "The Grinch." It was a wonderful week filled with storytelling and holiday spirit!
