On Thursday, October 8 the students in grades K-2 at Keane Elementary School teamed up with more than a million children across the country to read “The Very Hungry Caterpillar,” by Eric Carle for Jumpstart’s fourth annual Read for the Record campaign. 

After listening to the story, the students created beautiful caterpillar drawings, completed writing assignments and made their own “Very Hungry Caterpillar” books.

Over the past three years, more than a million people have participated in Jumpstart’s Read for the Record campaign.  Jumpstart is a leading nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring that every child in America enters school prepared to succeed.
