“Visiting Marlboro Academy and reading with the students was a wonderful experience that I will not forget. The excitement and energy the children brought to the room showed just how impactful reading can be in developing young minds (so intelligent!). Literacy is a powerful tool that allows children to explore new ideas, build confidence, and discover opportunities for their future. When we encourage our youth to read and learn, we are helping to build a brighter future not only for them but for our entire community,” says Bennettsville Police Chief Sammy Crosland.
