HOLLAND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL's most recent surprise reader is Mayor Sollars

Surprise readers are a part of everyday life in Mrs. Danaj's second-grade class at Holland Elementary School. Pupils try to guess the identity of the upcoming speaker, but while they might get close, they seldom hit the mark.

Friday, they received a special visit from an old friend, Mayor Rick Sollars. Mayor Sollars has often been invited to the class, and every time, it's been a lot of fun. This was no different, although reading "The Lorax" by Dr. Seuss is one difficult, tongue-twisting time.

"That book is tough," Mrs. Danaj admitted as the mayor read to the class. Afterwards, the mayor admitted that "it would have been great to have one practice reading" before the official one had to be done.

The pupils had a good time, as did the mayor. The students in the class would like to see the mayor return, but only if they continue to study well and pay action to their teacher ... that's the deal!
