On Nov. 20, twenty-four members of our community came to Whitin Intermediate School in Uxbridge to read aloud to students for Community Reading Day. It was a great morning sharing stories, inspiring young minds, encouraging career development, and sparking conversations that spanned multiple generations and passions. It was an amazing morning promoting life-long reading and building partnerships with our community. Thank you to all who participated!
