READ ACROSS AMERICA
MARCH 2, 2017
On March 2, 2017 the Rockingham County Education Association held its 20th Annual Read Across America event at Barnes and Noble in Harrisonburg, Virginia. There were well over 100 in attendance at this event, which also included Spotswood High School Future Educators of America students who helped to read to young ones who came, and the JMU Student VEA who also came to help read and support this event. The RCEA Officers thank both groups for their help!
All who came enjoyed hearing Dr. Seuss books in English and Spanish, the Cat in the Hat made an appearance to the delight of the young children, and refreshments were served. Youngsters who came also got to pick out a free Dr. Seuss pencil and stickers!
