D.E.A.R.

Last Friday was D.E.A.R. -- Drop Everything and Read -- Day. I don't know if it's just in the USA nor do I know who designated it. The National PTA? A Publisher (when I googled it, a publisher's site was the first one to pop up)? At any rate, at my kids' school, parents were invited in for the first hour to DROP EVERYTHING AND READ.
