Attorneys read “I Am Superman” by Brad Meltzer and gifted hundreds of new books to fourth and fifth graders to spark a lifelong love of reading
Conrad & Scherer’s Book Buddiesprogram, with support from the Levine Kellogg law firm, continues to empower young minds, foster a love of lifelong reading and strengthen community connections.
Several attorneys from the firm recently spent time at Deerfield Beach Elementary School, where they read to fourth and fifth grade students and donated 215 new copies of, I Am Superman by New York Times best-selling author Brad Meltzer. Each book was autographed by Meltzer, who also greeted students with a special video message introducing the story, which is part of his popular Ordinary People Change the World series.
Conrad & Scherer’s Book Buddies initiative is part of the firm’s ongoing effort to promote literacy and create engaging educational opportunities for local students. The program was launched to encourage imagination and inspire a passion for reading by connecting students with positive role models from the community.
“At Conrad & Scherer, we believe that reading is the foundation for lifelong learning and empowerment,” said Janine McGuire, partner at Conrad & Scherer Trial Lawyers. “We created Book Buddies to connect with students, encourage imagination and help foster a love of reading that extends beyond the classroom.”
This Book Buddies event coincided with Broward County Public Schools Super Reader celebration for first through third graders, highlighting a county-wide commitment to literacy.
“We are grateful to Conrad & Scherer and all our community partners for their commitment to promoting literacy and fostering a love of reading among our students,” said Broward County Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Howard Hepburn. “Initiatives like Book Buddies demonstrate the power of collaboration in creating meaningful learning experiences that inspire our students and strengthen our community.”
With thanks of appreciation and support from Broward County Public Schools, Children’s Services Council, HandsOn South Florida, Nova Southeastern University’s Alvin Sherman Library, City of Deerfield Beach, Braithwaite Center for Active Aging, the Broward Sheriff’s Office and Broward Reads Coalition.
