In an effort to spread joy and a love of reading, Dr. Holland presented the entire Rome High School Class of 2035 with a special gift during their recent Kindergarten Graduation. Each of the 539 kindergarteners received a copy of the acclaimed children's book I Promise, authored by none other than the legendary basketball player, Lebron James. In an effort to promote the love of reading, I Promise was selected as the gift for the Class of 2035 to underscore the importance of reading and its transformative impact on a child's life. Dr. Holland penned a heartfelt message inside each book, which read, "Congratulations! I'm so proud of you. I believe in you. Love, Dr. Holland."
