Dear Coral Ridge Cubs,

Wow! It’s the end of the year already! Thank you all so much for helping me grow big and strong by checking out 12,800 books this year! Way to go!!

It’s time for me to say goodbye and take a well-deserved vacation. Here’s a picture of me taking off to see the world! I’m going to be gone for a while, so next school year my sister Regina the Readerpillar will be visiting you all. Please help her grow by reading lots of books, just like you did with me.
