Read for the Record is scheduled for October 2, 2008. On this day, adults around the country will participate in a Read Aloud event with the book Corduroyby Don Freeman. Because it is a part of the Guinness Book of World Record event, certain requirements must be met.  If you want to participate in this event as a teacher or volunteer reader, please contact Ms. Armbuster (linda.armbruster@wesdschools.org ) @ Washington School Library. 602.347.3409.
