Read Across America Week is being celebrated all throughout Merced City School District during the first week of March.
The focus is on literacy which is an MCSD Board of Education priority.
Guest readers are visiting schools to inspire students to develop a love of reading.
Local author Amanda Rawson Hill of Atwater, will visit Reyes Elementary School on Friday.
She will be working with students to build their capacity to write, revise and critique with a growth mindset.
The week long celebration emphasizes community relationships and the culture
of literacy that MCSD teachers are always striving to increase.
Also on Friday, the Merced County Sheriff's Department Mascot Roscoe will read to kindergarten students and Tenaya

Football, Merced FFA, El Capitan Baseball, CHP officers, MCSD Board Member Dr. Shane Smith, and so many more volunteers read to students at Peterson Elementary School on
Monday.

The UC Merced Men’s Soccer Team took a break from practice to read to students at Chenoweth Elementary School Monday.
Coach Albert Martins has teamed up with Chenoweth for five years now.
Read Across America Day falls on the birthday of beloved children's book author Dr. Seuss.
Pre K students in Ms. Valdez’s class at Reyes Elementary School threw a birthday party in his honor, complete with hats and shirts inspired by Dr. Seuss characters.
Our thanks to Merced Mayor Mike Murphy for speaking at Wednesday’s MCSD Leadership Team meeting at the STEAM Center.
The Mayor shared his first experience in Merced which was as a student at Ada Givens Elementary, where he learned the value of being part of a community.
The Leadership team is made up of administrators and District staff who work to ensure that every student excels academically, builds character, and is a productive member of our community.
Talented students shine at Merced City School District's Spotlight Showcase.
The 5th annual Spotlight Showcase was held Thursday February 13, 2020 at the historic Merced Theatre.
