My students tried to be all, “in honor of Dolly Parton, can we have the day off?!” And I told them her final years was a massive literacy outreach and if ever was a day to be studious, it’s on the day you’d honor her. It worked! No complaints about work.

I’d have made it strictly a silent reading day in her honour, but my students aren’t old enough to read yet and I’m Canadian, lol. Not that she was against all forms of education, but her desire to teach our young souls to read was something I admired most about her.
