Island Park celebrates reading

Posted

Island Park kicked off the annual People As Reading Partners (PARP) in grand style on Jan. 13.

Herman Parish, author of some of the very popular Amelia Bedelia series of books, about the adventures of a bumbling maid, spoke to students at Francis X. Hegarty Elementary School. He spoke about his books and answered questions from the students. They were even treated to a guest appearance from the real Amelia Bedelia.
