Corpus Christi (KIII News) — Even though it was rainy and windy Friday morning, dozens of local dignitaries and personalities showed up at Gloria Hicks Elementary School to read to the students.
It was the school's annual Drop Everything and Read Day. Kiii News Anchors Makenzi Henderson and Joe Gazin were there, as well as John-Thomas Kobos and Kristin Diaz.
The whole idea is to instill in the young students the idea that reading is absolutely fundamental for achieving great things in life.
