Elementary Schools Visited by
First Mike

Mike Gregoire is an advocate for children's and family literacy. As a parent, First Mike recognizes the importance of reading with children. He also knows that strong reading skills prepare young people for academic success and lifelong love of learning.

Since December 2005, First Mike has traveled the state visiting elementary schools and libraries. He reads the lively The True Story of the Three Pigs, by Jon Scieszka. His school visits demonstrate to students the fun of sharing a good book and the importance of reading at least 20 minutes every day. First Mike also enjoys the opportunity to thank the many dedicated librarians, teachers, principals, staff, and volunteers for their good work helping our young people become skilful readers and strong students.

As of March 2009, First Mike has visited a total of 122 elementary schools, at least one school in each of the state’s 39 counties.
