2019 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 35 Private Schools, Charter Schools, and Public Elementary Schools within our county, National Read Across America/Read on Santa Cruz County Week from February 28th to March 8th.
With the coordination of Ms. Patricia Barraza-Preciado (Santa Cruz County School Superintendent’s Office,) they had over 108 volunteers from all across Santa Cruz County, read to each and 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’s 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 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.
