Mary Fay Pendleton School launched its Read Across America celebration with a week full of reading events designed to inspire a love for books among students.
To kick off the festivities, two special guests from Camp Pendleton — Colonel Gyimah and Sergeant Major Ortega — visited the school to read to first and second graders. Their engaging storytelling and warm presence captivated students and set the tone for a week of literacy-themed activities.
The event not only promoted reading but also highlighted the strong bond between the school and its military community.
