On March 2, 2016 Rio Vista Elementary celebrated Read Across America with local heroes reading to them. We were lucky to have Lt. Josh Cochran from the US. Airforce, Captain David Wareham, Deputy Veronica Graybill and Deputy Tyler. The Officers went room to room and read books to the students. The students really enjoyed meeting their visitors. Many classes had other celebrations like eating green eggs and ham, talking about Dr. Seuss and special art.

Read Across America is an annual reading motivation and awareness program that calls for every child in every community to celebrate reading on March 2, the birthday of beloved children's author Dr. Seuss.
