President and First Lady On Board For Read Across America!

President Barack Obama and First Lady  Michelle Obama Celebrate “Read Across America Day.” 

President Obama declared March 2 “Read Across America Day.”
And First Lady Michelle Obama took time yesterday to help launch the National Education Association's national reading outreach campaign, sharing The Cat in the Hat with children at Library of Congress. The First Lady said that the members of her family are voracious readers and her daughters, Malia and Sasha, read every night. 
Hurrah Mrs. Obama!!!
