    Hello my name is Cassady, I'm a 7th grade student at Welsh Valley Middle School in Lower Merion (just outside Philadelphia, PA). I found out about "Read It Again!" when my mom suggested it for my bar mitzvah project. A bar mitzvah is  when you turn 13 you become an adult in the Jewish community. You  have to do a project that helps the world or the community around you and I chose "Read It Again!" as my project. I like that this project can allow kids like me to help kids from another country.
