Welcome to "Paint-A-Reader"!



Portrait artist, Jeanne K McCormick and First Grade teacher from Plumbrook Elementary School in Utica, Ms. Sarah Chisholm, have teamed up together to create the Paint A Reader program. Designed to encourage students to keep up with their reading while supporting parents as they navigate through uncharted territory during this unprecedented pandemic. Parents were asked to submit a photo of their child reading their favorite books. Jeanne turns these unique photographs into beautiful water color paintings.
