What a fun way to start off the week! Yesterday morning, 6th grade students at @hardinghawks were treated to a special visit from the @philliephanatic!!! ๐โพ
This visit was rewarded to Ms. James's literacy class as part of the @xfinity sponsored "Phanatic About Reading" program. In this free, incentive-based program, Pre-K to 8 students are encouraged to read for at least 15 minutes a day to grow their literacy skills. Participating students receive completion certificates and tickets at the end of the school year, and they also have the chance to win other amazing prizes and experiences.
Thank you to @phillies and the Phanatic for this incredible experience! Our @cy_hawks team and students had an awesome time reading, dancing, and celebrating with Philly's favorite gentle green giant.
