Reward for Reading

A horse named Dirty Harry seemed more interested in munching on green grass in Joe Schaeffer Park than third-grader Kaitlyn Thomas climbing aboard his back for a ride Thursday. William Tell Elementary School students who met their reading goals for the third nine-week grading period were treated to an afternoon park getaway. Dirty Harry's owner, Julie Brackett, helping Kaitlyn aboard, served as a guide for the minute-long gentle horse rides while other students enjoyed the Kids Kreation Playground or simply savored the sun and warm temperatures.
