About:
We have about 30 kids that are reading at their former elementary schools. We are traveling to 9 schools throughout the city during March for Read Across America celebrations. I just renamed it Read Across the City for Fall River. Each group heads to their school for two hours. I travel with each group during the school day. We have student athletes from football, soccer, track and field, field hockey, baseball, basketball and Unified athletes. We have done two so far. One is scheduled for tomorrow and the rest are next week.
While they are there, they read to the students and sit and talk with them for a little while answering questions and sharing what it is like to be a student athlete at Durfee. The younger kids love it and our Durfee students love spending time with them, and seeing their old schools and their teachers.

Great day Reading Across the “City” with these amazing student/athletes at Watson. And one got to see his brother and sister. Love to see these kids promoting reading to our young students.
