STAFF REPORT

Favorite literature came to life last week for the students and staff at San Marcos CISD’s Hernandez Elementary School as they hosted their First Annual Book Parade.

Students were asked to dress as their favorite book characters and a campus parade was held later in the afternoon, filling the school with Princess Jasmines, scarecrows, cowboys, fairies and much more. Everyone got to showcase their favorite books and literary characters. The staff seemed to enjoy the day almost as much as the students.

Community leaders came throughout the day to read to students.

Student Emalee Fey as “Alice the Fairy.”

Students Mason Lusk and Dasian Meeks make their books come alive.

Assistant Principal David “Big Bad Wolf” Underwood and Counselor Mary “Stella Luna” Williams.

Students Sarah Storch and Jessica Rodriguez like the tales of Aladdin.

Student Michaela Manriquez is a very charming version of Liz Pichon’s Very Ugly Bug.

Dr. Seuss would be proud of teachers Pam “Thing One” Flores and Rosalina “Cat in the Hat” DeLaRosa.
