Testimonials
“As any high school educator would tell you, having students who struggle with reading actually wanting to read is a watershed moment in any school. Your visit gave us that moment! For that I am grateful as are the staff and students that benefitted from the “Big Rig” being on campus. I am looking forward…
Brian Mangan, Principal
East Lee County High School
I checked in with a lot of students today about their Big Rig experience and they loved it. Also, I lost count of the number of students who came up to me in the hallways, after school, and other times of day to show me their books. You have truly fueled their passion for reading!
