After reading the story the Governor, who grew up not far from the Arbutus area school, told the appreciative audience that if every student in the school read two books during the Winter break, he would return to Relay Elementary in the Spring with the First Lady and their young son, Drew. Governor Ehrlich also presented a gubernatorial proclamation to the school's principal, Mr. James Skarbek, and thanked him for his years of service to Baltimore County Public Schools.
