State Sen. Bob Mensch reads at Rupert.

Invited many guests joined the staff to celebrate the joy of reading with students. 

The teachers at Rupert value the importance of connecting with our school community and friends of education. 

"We know how busy all of our guests were, and we are sure the time they spent as a guest reader was well spent," said Principal Matthew Moyer. 

Many brought a favorite children’s book, while others selected one from our library. 

Readers were assigned to a class or two and provided with refreshments including a custom made cookie for the event.
