Posted on February 2, 2012February 1, 2012 by Staff

Families flocked to Frank Porter Graham Elementary School last Wednesday for the school’s 14th annual Read-a-thon. The event featured guest readers such as Carrboro Mayor Mark Chilton, Eric Montross and authors Irma Tejada and Kelly Alexander. There were also live animals from the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, a jungle-themed art project and a bake sale. Visit tinyurl.com/79j4r55 to see pictures from the event.
