Assemblyman Steve Hawley (R,C-Batavia) today visited Elba Elementary School and Ronald L Sodoma Elementary School in Albion for Read Across America Day.

This event has been a longstanding tradition for Hawley and his office, and he is proud to be able to host it for another year.

Hawley read “Maybe You Should Fly a Jet! Maybe You Should Be a Vet!” by Dr. Seuss to third graders at Elba Elementary School and second graders at Ronald L Sodoma Elementary School before donating the books to the schools.

“Read Across America Day highlights the important role books have in our classrooms,” said Hawley. “Through reading, our students are able to expand their minds and create a passion for learning. I want to thank all of the schools, teachers and staff members for making this event possible and for putting their time, talent and energy into educating the next generation.”

“I would also personally like to thank Mrs. Anmarie Maher, Mrs. Amy Damasiewicz, Mrs. Holly McNair, Mrs. Beth Stanley and Mr. David Plewinski for allowing me to read to their classes,” Hawley concluded.
