2020 Read across America/Read on Santa Cruz County Week

Once again, the Santa Cruz County School Superintendent’s Office and School Superintendent Alfredo I. Velásquez, celebrated, along with 30 Private Schools, Charter Schools, and Public Elementary Schools within our county, National Read Across America/Read on Santa Cruz County Week from March 2, 2020, through March 06, 2020.

With the coordination of Ms. Patricia Barraza-Preciado (Santa Cruz County School Superintendent’s Office,) they had close to 100 volunteers from all across Santa Cruz County, read to every classroom in our educational community. The main goal of this event is to encourage our children to read and to love reading at an early age. It is one of the most important things we can do as parents and as a community. It sets the foundation for a lifetime of success.

The Santa Cruz County School Superintendent’s Office would like to thank everyone who volunteered a couple of hours of their busy day to participate in this wonderful event. The children of Santa Cruz County thank YOU, as well.
