Extra reading proves uplifting for principal


Volney Rogers Junior High Principal Diane Hunsbarger waves as Youngstown firefighter Dan Poklemba maneuvers the ladder bucket to the building roof. She promised to sit on the school roof all day Thursday if students read an extra 1 million paragraphs — above and beyond their regular weekly school work — for “Right to Read Week.” The kids read an extra 1.14 million paragraphs in the five-day period.
