Amy Roloff shared her gratitude on Instagram’s stories on Monday. She thanked fans who reached out to her and requested that she read to their students.
Amy recently revealed that fans could now request her presence at speaking engagements, including reading to students, like she did recently in Kentucky.
Amy is a former preschool teacher and loves being around children. Amy said she received a “huge response” and was “blown away” by them.
One of the captions in her stories read, “I’m going to do my best to reach out to all of you. Unfortunately, I may not be able to.” She continued with another caption, “If I wasn’t able to reach out to you, I’m so sorry. Maybe I could over the summer or next school year.”
Amy wasn’t prepared for the overwhelming response
Amy explained that she didn’t think she would garner as much attention as she did, and was unprepared for the time commitment, adding to all the other things she does to stay busy.
Amy went on to say that she wishes she had thought of the idea of reading to students in classrooms earlier in the school year. She wished her followers a good rest of the year and told them to stay strong, saying “Y’all are the best.”
