EPISD comes together to show love of reading

Tom Lea Elementary students helped EPISD kick off its annual Read Across the District celebration on Nov. 8, 2019 with Dr. Seuss and Harry Potter. The sixth annual event encourages a lifelong love of reading by bringing community members into the classrooms to read to students for 30 minutes. Soldiers joined cheerleaders, band members and the mascot from Andress High School to kick off the event, also known as RAD. RAD celebrations throughout the district were varied but equally motivating and celebratory. Students, parents, news anchors, local sports stars and other celebrities were invited guests at reading events throughout EPISD. (Leonel Monroy, Jr./El Paso ISD)
