In observation of the 2nd Annual Ben Carson Reading Day on Monday, November 12, 2007, local author, Robyn Ringgold, Iraqi Veteran, Paul Blitz, and Candy and Sonya Carson teamed up to read to students at Graceland Park/O’Donnell Heights.

The students at Graceland Park/O'Donnell Heights Elementary/Middle are encouraged to visit the Ben Carson Reading Room everyday! Every child keeps a reading log and are asked to complete a book report. Thanks to the vision and commitment of the Annie E. Casey Foundation, we are able to make a difference in the lives of the children in Baltimore City.

The Graceland Park Reading Room, sponsored by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, was opened September 12, 2002. This Reading Room capitalizes on Grandparent involvement.
