The Oklahoma City Thunder's Rolling Thunder Book Bus rolled to our Sandite Summer Reading program this morning, bringing plenty of excitement and a love of reading along for the ride! 📚

Students had the opportunity to explore the mobile library, browse books, and pick out new stories to enjoy throughout the summer. Experiences like these help keep young readers engaged and learning even when school is out.

Thank you to the Rolling Thunder Book Bus team for visiting our students and helping inspire a lifelong love of reading!
