Aikin Elementary School recently welcomed students and their families for its fourth annual “Reading Under the Stars” event. The evening was meant to celebrate reading and bring families together.

According to the school's story, the event has become a tradition at Aikin. Families were invited to step away from their busy schedules, bring a blanket and spend time reading a good book outdoors under the evening sky.

Photos from the event show families, including Hayley and Harrison Hales and Goldie and Birdie Abbott with their parents, Savannah and Chance Abbott.
