Pictured is Mrs. Linda Evola’s first grade class from the John Quincy Adams Elementary School in Deer Park. Her students collectively read the most minutes during their school-wide Parents As Reading Partners Program (PARP) annual event. The class read a total of 6,183 over the course of two weeks during the month of April, bringing the entire school effort up to a grand total of 92, 658 minutes. In recognition of their efforts, the children were treated to a pizza party lunch in the principal’s office. PARP is a collaborative effort among parents, students and staff to build a reading partnership between home and school and to help foster the love of reading at home.
