Community Read-In a Great Success!
Readers of all ages enjoyed books, books, books at the annual Community Read-In at the Pendleton Early Learning Center (PELC) on March 2, 2026.
About 60 volunteers visited the school that morning to read to Kindergartners and share their love of books and reading. Volunteers included parents, grandparents, friends, neighbors, retired PELC staff, Sunridge Middle School Leadership students, PSD staff and school board members, IMESD Blue Mountain Early Learning Hub, Walmart employees, and law enforcement.
PELC would like to thank Pendleton Walmart for their donation of books and their employees who came to read with students.
“The Community Read-In was a roaring, reading literary success that we look forward to every year! We thank all the volunteers who showed up to spend time with our students,” said Angela Lattin, PELC Principal.
The event is the traditional kickoff to Read Across America week.
