On February 1, Junior Colleges Castillian celebrated World Read Aloud Day.

Castillian celebrated this great event with a school wide indoor picnic lunch and story time to feed our bodies while we feed our minds. We received amazing donations of books from our students and their families that will now fill our beautiful library for years to come.
