The private school joined Jumpstart’s literacy initiative to help break a world record for the most students
reading the same book the same day. The book at hand was ‘The Bear Ate Your Sandwich’ by Julia Sarcone-Roach.
'Our children love to read,’ said Milka Santos, the school’s advancement director. ‘They often get to school early
to visit our Richard J. Schmeelk Family Library and check out books.’ A total of 200 readers participated
and were read to by WPTV-TV’s Ashley Hinson and Lake Worth Mayor Pam Triolo. Above are students,
administrators and board members (l-r): Nathaniel Sasser, 12, Cristina Balestrieri, Cynthia Ansel,
Denis Coleman, Frankie Stevens, Triolo, Isabella Walker, 11, Carla Cove, Hinson, Tomaxa Nazier, 12,
William Finneran, Samantha Gilles, 11, Candace Tamposi and Colleen Fitzgerald.
