With cries of “We Read 10 Books!” and “Tree House Books Rocks!” the Super Readers celebrated each other and the work they’d accomplished. On the way back to Tree House Books, Maurice, Ta’Quan, and Nazir raised their plastic cups of soda and said, “Cheers to being Super Readers.”

This magical time would not be possible apart from our Tree House family–Thanks to all of our Limo Ride Sponsors and the Franklin Institute!
