In celebration of Read Across America, Deanna G. Taylor Academy was filled with the joy of storytelling and the magic of books! We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Hillside Fire Department and the Hillside Police Department for taking time out of their busy schedules to visit our classrooms and share the gift of reading with our students. A special thank you also goes out to all of the parents who came in to read aloud and make this week truly memorable. Your presence reminded our students that reading is a treasure valued by our entire community. Together, we are inspiring a lifelong love of reading — one story at a time! 📚
