Justin Paré, Manager at Southern Rensselaer County FRC, wanted to encourage reading for World Literacy Month, but he wasn’t sure how to motivate the center’s Head Start kids… until he came up with a great idea. He told them: “Read more than 100 books this month, and you can all hit me in the face with a pie.” The kids read 153 books total, and Justin (and his supportive staff) made some kids very, very happy.
