Leddi Luedecke reads in a cozy nook inspired by CEF.
COLUMBUS — Columbus Elementary School teacher Vicki Melnar’s classroom buzzes with the kind of energy and excitement that only second- grade students can generate, yet there’s a special corner reserved for quiet, calm, and discovery.
Thanks to a Columbus Education Foundation (CEF) Classroom Grant, Melnar’s students now have their own Reading Retreat—a cozy library nook designed to spark a passion for books and provide a peaceful space for independent reading.
