RMI Senior Project Manager Charley Hanson and Sales Representative Brandy Thomas, along with a very special four-legged guest, have been bringing story time to life at New Hampshire elementary schools. Students, faculty, and staff eagerly joined in to hear Charley regale the room with a reading of Mitchell Sharmat’s popular children’s book “Gregory, the Terrible Eater,” a tale of a young goat with some truly unusual eating habits. Following the story, Charley and Brandy herd lively little baby goat Buster into the classroom for a meet-and-greet with the audience. Students are encouraged to interact with Buster and to ask questions, especially about the eating habits of real goats.
Goat story time has been a great opportunity to foster a connection between students and animals they may be otherwise unfamiliar with, as well as to introduce them to some of the wonderful aspects of farm life. It’s also a fun way for us to give back to our community. Our thanks go out to the Sandwich Center School and the Jennie D Blake School for inviting Charley, Brandy, and Buster into the classroom!
