Talented ventriloquist Steve Petra entertained Mrs. Meltzer's third grade students with several hilarious puppets that quickly became crowd favorites. The puppets told jokes, chatted with the students, and even sang silly songs that encouraged everyone to love reading, literacy, and spread #booklove. Throughout the assembly, the third graders were fully engaged - clapping, laughing, and smiling from start to finish. Their excitement filled the room as they interacted with the puppets and enjoyed the lively performance. It was a fun, memorable assembly that left everyone smiling and even more excited about #booklove reading!
