Captain Burgess-Mason

In celebration of Read Across America, DTGA was proud to welcome Hillside's own Captain Burgess-Mason for a special visit with our 2nd grade scholars!

Captain Burgess-Mason spent time reading to students, sharing the importance of literacy, perseverance, and goal setting. Scholars were excited to hear her story and learn how strong reading skills contribute to success both on and off the court. Her message reinforced that reading opens doors to endless opportunities and empowers us to achieve our dreams.

Events like these highlight our continued commitment to fostering a love of reading while connecting students with inspiring role models from our community. We are grateful to Captain Burgess-Mason for taking the time to support our scholars and celebrate the joy of literacy.

Thank you for helping us make Read Across America a meaningful and memorable experience for all!
