Shirley's Coffee Shop GM Reads to Third Grade Students

Reading opens up a child's creativity, encourages questions thereby cultivating inquisitiveness, makes the world smaller and places nearer, provides fuel to adventurous spirits and makes learning a lot more fun.

Shirley's Coffee Shop GM Susan Macario knows the value of reading, having enjoyed quiet moments with a book to read too, and she readily agreed when asked to read a book to the third grade students of San Antonio Elementary School in support of the school’s Community Readers Activity.

Held last April 12, this is to involve the community to come to San Antonio Elementary School to inspre the children to read more. This activity encourages the students not to give up reading as they grow older and utilize this skill whenever and wherever their future may take them.

Shirley's Jersh Angeles, the Master Storyteller

The Shirley's Coffee Shop team does not only make and serve great food, they tell great stories as well.

Jersh Angeles was invited as guest reader at the San Antonio Elementary School during their Community Reader and Book Fair week on April 15, 2010. The Grade 6 students of 6thA class headed by Mr. Frank Demapan and 6thB class headed by Catherine Acera-Cabrera were all ears as Jersh retells the story of a spider.

Anansi and the Moss-Covered Rock is a popular book by Eric Kimmel. In the story, the arachnid Anansi uses a magical rock to fool his neighbors to steal their food, but he gets tricked too and the food was given back to the rightful owners.
