March is National Reading Month and we want your family to join us in the March RISE Reading Challenge! The goal of the RISE Reading Challenge is to help create a culture of reading with your family.

At the end of the month, scan the QR Code and tell us about your family's experience!

For the last 30 years Anthony and Jackie Johnson, owners of Lauren's Garden in DeWitt, along with their family and employees, have been quietly providing balloon and candy bags on Valentines Day.
