Read Across America/Read on Santa Cruz County Week
The Santa Cruz County School Superintendent’s Office and School Superintendent Alfredo I. Velásquez, celebrated, along with 15 Private, Charter, and Public Elementary Schools within our county, National Read Across America/Dr. Seuss Week from
March 01, 2021 – March 05, 2021.
With the coordination of Ms. Patricia Barraza-Preciado (Santa Cruz County School Superintendent’s Office,) the schools throughout our county had over 78 volunteers conduct virtual visits and read to each classroom in our educational community. The main goal of this annual event is to encourage our children to read and to love reading at an early age. It’s one of the most significant actions we can accomplish 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 each and 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.
