Read Across America Day

March 2nd, 2016

Jefferson held its annual "Read Aloud Day" on March 2nd, 2016.  Parents and community members including District 4 Board of Supervisors Representative Katy Tang, local Fire Engine 22 Firefighters, and Woodside International High School students visited classrooms and read books to students.  Read Across America Day was started in 1998 by the National Education Association in an effort to celebrate and promote children's literacy because children who are motivated to read and spend more time reading do better in school.  Jefferson students were excited to hear so many great stories read by so many wonderful community members.  We thank all who participated and gave their time to help promote a love of reading at Jefferson!
