Pull-Tight Volunteers Participate in World Reading Day

September 20, 2024

Pull-Tight Players had the pleasure of participating in World Reading Day, a vibrant celebration of all things literary, at Bethesda Elementary School Sept. 13. This fun-filled day invites book lovers of all ages to dive into the pages of their favorite stories, discover new genres, and share their reading adventures with friends and family.

Libraries and schools come alive with exciting events like book fairs, read-a-thons, and creative storytelling sessions. Whether you’re cozying up with a classic or exploring the latest bestseller, this day reminds us that reading opens doors to endless imagination and connection.

It was an amazing opportunity for our storytellers to participate. Our players had read to Bethesda students in two groups. Events Committee member Frankie Piccione took the lead in adapting a script that included the stories of The Three Little Pigs, The Three Billy Goats Gruff, and The Three Bears.

Our talented actors and volunteers included Claudia Finnegan, Tom Trabucco, Jean Hevel, Lindsey Scruggs, and Board Member/Events Committee member Joey Echevarria, who also attended.

The students dressed up and thoroughly enjoyed the live reading, which even featured a puppet played by Frankie.

We feel incredibly grateful to serve the community this way. We’ve received an invitation to return, so if you’re interested in getting involved, email Committee Chair Bre Hall.
