Mayor Dave Anderson was one of several
special guests at Valley View Elementary
for the "Read Across America" campaign. |
|
On Monday, March 4, guest readers came to Valley
View and read in various classrooms. Mayor Dave
Anderson, Ron Smith, Rona Hall, Gini Woodward,
and Beverly Krichbaum all donated their time to
share their love of reading with Valley View’s
Students.
This was all part of the National Education
Association’s Program “Read Across America”
campaign. Now in its 16th year, this program
focuses on motivating children and teens to read
through events, partnerships, and reading
resources.
Other activities of the week included, a Read-in
Pajama Day, a Book Exchange in which every
student had the opportunity to take at least one
book home, a “Drop Everything and Read” time and
a “Green Eggs and Ham” lunch.
“I Love to Read” was the theme of the week as we
celebrated Dr. Seuss’ Birthday.
If you are interested in partnering with Valley
View in their reading program, please give them
a call at 208-267-5519. |
