Mayor
Rick Sollars spent an hour reading to two classes at Randall Elementary School
on Thursday, March 17 as part of the national "March is Reading
Month" campaign.
The
mayor started the day in Kelly Swed's fifth-grade class, reading a book about a
boy and his shoes. The class was very attentive and, when the mayor took
questions afterward, asked him 1) Whether he had ever meet President Obama (no)
and 2) Whether he was voting for GOP front-runner Donald Trump (which got
laughs out of everyone, including the mayor).
After
spending some time talking with Principal Cindy Meszaros, Librarian Caroline
Patts shuttled the mayor down to Karen Ostrowski's first-grade class, which
features her grandson.
There,
the mayor read a Dr. Seuss book, which the class enjoyed. The mayor spent a
lengthy period of time talking with the children, including getting a high-five
from a boy wearing a Michigan State jersey.
Mayor
Sollars, a Michigan fan, made a crack about the shirt when he entered the room,
but Mrs. Ostrowski set him straight by firmly mentioning that she was a MSU
grad and that "green" is always welcome in her classrom, not only on
St. Paddy's Day.
By
the way, that was a green tie the mayor was wearing ...
