2nd graders at Baker Elementary got a special treat from two very important visitors yesterday. Craig O'Neill and Tom Brannon from THV11 stopped by to read to these students. Baker Elementary was a special stop on the Reading Roadtrip as part of Craig's Book Bracket Challenge. Craig read the "Bad Seed" and Tom read "The Monster's Monster." Students voted on which book they liked best. Check out the video that aired on THV11 during the 10pm news on Wednesday night: http://bit.ly/3EthjU3
