Ballard Elementary School in Bradenton, FL is the first school to establish a THINK BIG Reading Room in Manatee County!  There were 2 opening ceremonies:  one in the morning with approximately 50 community leaders and dignitaries, including Bradenton Mayor Gene Brown and Vice Mayor Marianne Barnebey; Pastor Sam and Mrs Sonia Rivera, whose church provides after school programs for the students; Superintendent, Dr. Jason Wysong, and Mark Miller.  An afternoon program celebration included the teachers and students. “The sky is the limit” is the thought-uplifting theme for this book haven.

More coming soon!
