We were thrilled to have Miss Pennsylvania, Victoria Vespico read to several of our classrooms last week for Read Across America. We enjoyed our day getting to show her what Head Start is all about!

Victoria has authored 3 children's books on sustainability and was kind enough to share her time and talent with us: Cows Are More Than Milk, Bring a Bucket, and Sustainability Starts with You.
Her books can be found on Barnes and Noble under the name Victoria Lin.
