Special guests help 'Read Across America'
March 12, 2013
Bonners Ferry Mayor Dave Anderson was one of several special guests at Valley View Elementary for the "Read Across America" campaign.
On Monday, March 4, guest readers came to Valley View and read in various classrooms. Mayor Dave Anderson, Ron Smith, Rona Hall, Gini Woodward, and Beverly Krichbaum all donated their time to share their love of reading with Valley View’s Students.

This was all part of the National Education Association’s Program “Read Across America” campaign. Now in its 16th year, this program focuses on motivating children and teens to read through events, partnerships, and reading resources.

Other activities of the week included, a Read-in Pajama Day, a Book Exchange in which every student had the opportunity to take at least one book home, a “Drop Everything and Read” time and a “Green Eggs and Ham” lunch.

“I Love to Read” was the theme of the week as we celebrated Dr. Seuss’ Birthday.
