La Mirada Elementary School marked the beginning of the new school year with the launch of the ABC 10News Storytime book fair. The event aimed to foster a love of reading among students and provide them with essential educational resources.
As part of the initiative, author Salina Yoon visited the school to engage with first and second graders. Yoon read her book, titled “I Like Cheese,” to the young students, bringing the story to life and encouraging interaction.
In addition to the author’s reading, students at La Mirada Elementary received a variety of items designed to support their education. These included free books, school supplies, and backpacks. The distribution of these materials is a key component of the ABC 10News Storytime initiative, which seeks to boost literacy rates and provide students with the tools they need for academic success.
The program highlights the importance of early literacy engagement and community involvement in supporting educational goals. By providing both engaging literary experiences and practical supplies, the initiative aims to create a positive and resource-rich environment for students as they embark on their academic journey for the year.
