Students at Thayer Elementary explored the library to find books to read and then checked them out. They also enjoyed listening attentively as Kennedy Beauchamp, Thayer's library media specialist, read a story to them. Community members may volunteer to read to students through our "rocking chair reader" program. For more information on volunteering, go to https://www.waynesville.k12.mo.us/page/volunteering-in-the-waynesville-r-vi-school-district or call 573-842-2250. #wayschools
