District administrators, trustees participate in Read Across America
Cypress-Fairbanks ISD had plenty of hands-on participation in the National Education Association’s Read Across America day last Friday, March 2, as various CFISD administrators and Board members read to elementary and middle school students throughout the district.
Dr. Debbie Emery, associate superintendent for school administration and HR, said she enjoyed an exciting day of reading with students at Owens Elementary School.
“They were all so eager to share the experiences they had that were similar to the character in the book,” Emery said. “I was reminded again of why we joined the education profession—to make a difference in the lives of children.”
In honor of the 50th anniversary of Dr. Seuss’ “The Cat in the Hat,”, several of the CFISD representatives wore red and white striped top hats in the fashion of the Cat.
The day also marked the 10th anniversary of the nation’s largest reading celebration. For more information on Read Across America, visit www.nea.org/readacross.
