Derby's Bradley School to launch reading initiative

    DERBY - Bradley School will kick off a school-wide reading initiative next week.
    All 350 students and their families will read “The World According to Humphrey,” over a 15-day period at home and during school.

    The kick-off will be held during an assembly at 1 p.m. April 4.
    During the assembly, students will be introduced to the book with a performance by teachers of a song especially arranged by music teacher Maureen McGovern for “Humphrey,” a live hamster, who will be in attendance.

    For every chapter a child reads, he or she will receive a ticket for a drawing to win the real “Humphrey.”
