Press release from the Fresno Unified School District: 2022-03-04 In celebration of Read Across America Week, district leaders selected their favorite books and read to our children, some live and some pre-recorded. The district's special Read Across America videos include Superintendent Bob Nelson, Board President Elizabeth Jonasson-Rosas, and Board Trustee Valerie Davis reading live to our students, and a pre-recorded book reading from Deputy Superintendent Her. Every year, Read Across America events are designed to encourage reading in children and highlight the importance – and fun – of reading. While Read Across America Week concludes today, the entire month of March is National Reading Month.  "One of the most delightful parts of my job continues to be the opportunity to read a children's book out loud. Encouraging students to love reading is one of the most important things I can do as a superintendent and underscores the value we put on learning," said Superintendent Bob Nelson.
