Rep. Klarides-Ditria Joins in on Read Across the Valley Day

From the Office of the Representative: State Rep. Nicole Klarides-Ditria joined volunteers throughout the Valley on Tuesday for the annual “Read Across the Valley Day” hosted by the Valley Early Childhood Regional Council (VECRC).

“I always enjoy reading to our children and seeing how dedicated our school teachers are to unlocking the greatest potential in each and every child in the Valley,” said Rep. Klarides-Ditria. “We need to encourage students to not only enjoy reading at school but to take their joy of reading home. The Read Across the Valley Day is a great event to teach our students the importance of reading.”

Rep. Klarides-Ditria read to Mr. Biganti’s fourth-grade class at Irving Elementary School in Derby.

According to VECRC, their mission is to coordinate and promote early childhood care and education throughout the Valley region by engaging families to ensure all children enter school ready to learn and succeed.
