Holly Academy was host to Michigan Secretary of State Ruth Johnson Thursday as she visited the school and spent time reading with all four classrooms of Kindergarten students. Johnson shared her pictures of the Mackinac Bridge and some of her childhood memories of northern Michigan. The students asked Johnson several questions, which she enjoyed answering with her captivating stories. “A Fish Out of Water”, by Helen Palmer, was the book Johnson chose to read to the students, even asking students to join her with reading aloud.
Dan Quisenberry, President of the Michigan Association of Public School Academies, also attended the reading and sat on the floor to interact with the students. The visit was a great way to end the March Reading Month activities at Holly Academy.
