Karron Kendrick Ross
Mary never ceases to amaze me. Read Aloud Delaware continues to keep up with the trends despite having a very small staff. This agency taught me how to treat people well. One of the latest things that Mary and Read Aloud Delaware is doing is posting very colorful pieces of information on Facebook so that everyone knows how important it is to read aloud to your child. Great job Mary! Their passion never goes away.
