Prescott Mayor Terry Oliver took some time out today to visit Mrs. Glass’s kindergarten class at Prescott Elementary and read the book Corduroy The book tells the story of Corduroy, a stuffed bear, who sits on the store shelf hoping for a permanent home, and a girl named Lisa, who empties her piggy bank to purchase Corduroy, giving him a new home at her house.

Mayor Oliver had glowing praise for the school, teachers, and children. “It was a very rewarding experience,” Oliver said. “I received a warm welcome from the school, and the kids and I had so much fun reading the book. They were very polite and well-mannered.“ Oliver said the entire experience was wonderful.
