Assistant Superintendent Shawn Jackson was the first guest reader for Baeli Kimble's 1st grade class! 📚 He read them the story “There’s an Alligator Under My Bed.” At the end, the students had the opportunity to ask Mr. Jackson questions.

One student asked, “What is your favorite part of your job?” He responded with visiting classrooms and interacting with students of all ages! 😊 The class loved having Mr. Jackson visit so much, and the kids loved the story. #RepthatA
