Our ties to Everett Elementary are strong, and not even a pandemic can keep us from connecting with the students, so we transitioned Read Aloud at Everett to Zoom. The new format has been successful, as we have had Rotary readers virtually in the classroom every week since September 18. Shout out to U.S. Bank for being the sponsor of the Read Aloud program this year, providing two new books per month to each Everett child we read to throughout the school year. Special thanks to Ben Martens for his help in securing this sponsorship! Sign up now to read, using the link in this newsletter. It’s easier than ever, takes only 25 minutes out of your day with no travel time, and the Everett students enjoy it so much! Read more, click here.
