Last week, President Snow served as a guest reader for the FSDB 3rd Grade Summer Reading Camp in the Deaf Elementary School.  Students are diving into Roald Dahl's Matilda, with guest readers taking on the role of narrator while Ms. Maddy Brady, their teacher, fully embraces one of the story's characters.  On the day President Snow visited, Ms. Brady transformed into the unforgettable Ms. Trunchbull, the headmistress of Crunchem Hall Primary School.

Reading is fun, and when you add creativity and engagement, students become more interested and confident in their learning.

 Description:  President Snow stands next to Ms. Brady aka Ms. Trunchbull while holding a copy of Matilda.  Ms. Truchbull, true to her character, has her hands on her hips and is scowling at the camera.
