At Francis A. Desmares School, 3rd-grader Nadia S. had an unforgettable reading experience after finishing Let's Have a Sleepover, one of the books in the Hello, Hedgehog! series by author Norm Feuti. When Nadia shared that she wished the story had ended differently, she took her idea one step further and wrote a letter to the author. Her reading support teacher, Kari Rowe, shared Nadia’s letter with Mr. Feuti, who surprised them both with a personal response and something extraordinary. Mr. Feuti actually rewrote the ending of the story just for Nadia! What began as a reader sharing her thoughts turned into a wonderful reminder of the power of reading, writing, and connecting with authors. This is an experience Nadia and Mrs. Rowe won't soon forget!

At Reading-Fleming Intermediate School, 6th-grade students Grace Litterini, Riley Smith, and Scarlett Kimball suggested honoring the work of renowned Japanese contemporary artist Yayoi Kusama by creating an interactive "Obliteration Pumpkin" bulletin board. Inspired by Kusama's signature use of dots and repetition to explore patterns, connection, and infinity, students are adding their own dots to transform the pumpkin into a collaborative work of art. RFIS students and staff are encouraged to drop in and add dots to the Huskies' masterpiece.
