I am an AACPS: Parent & PTA President, Jessup Elementary School 

A group of Marines stands smiling at the camera.Here at Jessup Elementary School, we are advocates for our students to read every day but also enjoy reading! In the spirit of Veterans day we team up with a group of Marines from Fort Meade to read to the entire school.

The Marines read to our PreK classes all way through 5th grade! I have two favorite parts of this reading event. The first one was seeing all the students faces lighting up when they saw our guest speakers. The second is how much all the Marines genuinely enjoyed reading to our students!

It was really fantastic to see our guest speakers interact with all of our students. We can’t thank them enough for taking time out of their busying schedule to come hangout with our students.!!!
