Book characters come to life at BES

"We love to read! We love to read!" could be heard reverberating from the football field next to Blytheville Elementary School Wednesday afternoon as students celebrated literacy by dressing as characters from their favorite books for the school's book parade.

Blytheville Superintendent Harry Potter ... err, Richard Atwill, was suffering from a classic confundus charm until students helped him read their literacy posters before Wednesday's book parade.
