The First Lady of Pennsylvania made a stop at a local elementary school Monday to read a book.

It's part of a literacy program and while she was there she also spoke with us about the Sandy Hook tragedy.

Every year, Scholastic donates 500 books to each of the First Ladies in the United States. From there, the First Ladies choose where the books go.

This time around, Susan Corbett chose a York City school.

She was greeted by eager students, which included second graders ready for story time. The First Lady did her part by encouraging them to read.

Monday's visit to the Ferguson Elementary School Library was all about a certain reindeer, but her appearance came on the heels of a national tragedy.

For the mother of two, Corbett discussed the pain she feels in the aftermath of the Newtown shooting. As part of her tour of the school, Corbett was shown security details at the school.

The First Lady says despite what happened on Friday, students shouldn't be afraid to go back to school.

The First Lady said she's been writing back and forth with the First Lady of Connecticut since the tragedy.
