Welcome to

Florida is celebrating reading all week long and today at the state capitol students who are helping promote reading were honored.

Florida’s First Lady Ann Scott honored students from nine schools who placed in a statewide PSA contest. Scott encouraged the students to read everyday.

“One of my favorite past times is at the end of a long day, even though I’m tired, it is so relaxing to me just to curl up in bed with a good book and read, and that’s how I like to end my day,” said Scott.

Scott read the book “Tuffy” to the kids. Tuffy is the only horse in Florida enrolled in public schools, calling East Milton Elementary in Okaloosa County home.
