Bacon District Elementary School held a Family Literacy night event called Reading Around the World on Monday, Jan. 13. The event featured books, read by special guests, from four different countries, each in a different part of the world. Students and parents heard stories from Costa Rica, Hungary, New Zealand, and Gambia detailing some of the unique cultural features of each country.
