At Robertsville Elementary, Mrs. Chickering’s 2nd grade class enjoyed a special literacy experience with author Peter H. Reynolds as he read “Say Something.”

Students explored the power of their voices by creating statues and using paintbrushes to express their ideas in creative ways.

To bring the message home, each student made their own megaphone as a reminder that they can use their voice to “say something.” 📣
