If there is one thing that California Teachers Association Vice President Theresa Montano loves, it’s reading.

She got to read Thursday to one of her favorite audiences – two classrooms of young children at Laurel Creek Elementary School.

“I just love this. It brings me closer to the kids,” Montano said just before she started her day of reading.

Montano armed herself with the children’s book, “Creature Features,” by Steve Jenkins and Robin Page. She first read to Stephanie Cobb’s second-grade class and then to Lisa Rushing’s first-grade class.
