"I did this the year before, and it's fun. I like working with the kids," said Sergeant Talley, who is assigned to the 59th Dental Training Group. Approximately 100 volunteers signed up to read to the students March 2, with members of Team Lackland representing nearly 80 percent of the volunteers, according to Kelli Wilson, the school's social worker and organizer of the event.
