The day flew by as we engaged in a variety of interactive literacy activities, including reading aloud, grammar lessons, and vocabulary quizzes. Despite the frenetic pace, everyone had an enriching and enjoyable experience.

This week The Rise Above Poverty Reading Clinic has the pleasure of having Iris St. Meran as a guest speaker and reader. Mrs. St. Meran is a news reporter at NewsChannel 9, WSYR-TV. Our students were so excited to have a real live tv personality join our program. As you can imagine they flooded her with questions about tv, college and her video on seals during the New York State Fair.
Mrs. St. Meran thank you for visiting our program and reading to our students.
