During the 2020-2021 school year, the Mistral PTA asked guest readers from our community to volunteer to support our strong readers at Mistral. Readers include parents, the mayor, a police officer, and fabulous Mistral staff – take a look! All demonstrate skills used when talking about books and show that yes, everyone reads!
