As part of the celebration of reading across the state this year, Wyoming's First Lady Jennie Gordon, and WEA's President Kathy Vetter kicked off Read Across America by reading the "Cat in the Hat" to kindergartner's in WEA board member Lydia Rayfi eld's classroom at Cheyenne's Henderson Elementary School. "Being in the classroom with students and promoting literacy is something I am passionate about," Vetter said. "This program is a great way for WEA to assist teachers in inspiring children's natural curiosity, imagination, and desire to learn." During the six years of the program, Vetter has visited more than 2,500 Wyoming students and each student has pledged to keep reading for future success. Thank you to First Lady Jennie Gordon for participating and thank you to Principal Brooks-Lyons for the warm welcome into Henderson Elementary School in Cheyenne.
