Claire’s Awards of Reading Excellence C.A.R.E. Awards 2014

Today we honor over 700 children from 20 schools districts in northwest Ohio for increasing their reading skills and working hard in their classrooms. In honor of Claire Lynsey Rubini, the awards are presented each year to promote reading excellence. Thank you for joining us today. We are proud of all of the children, and so pleased you could be part of this special day.
