    This past Friday I volunteered at an elementary school and read to two classrooms, 4th grade and 5th grade. It was a touching experience as the kids were so engaged in the stories. In the 5th grade class, we turned the lights off and read a scary story! Also, it was really nice to see fellow employees I had not seen in months or years!
