Reading with Dr. Nish

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” -- Dr. Seuss

Superintendent/President Melinda Nish celebrated Read Across America last week by reading to the third graders in Ms. Silvia Toledo’s class at El Toyon Elementary in National City.

Read Across America is a celebration of Dr. Seuss’s birthday and is an opportunity for students, parents, and community members to share their love of reading.

Dr. Nish's book selection, The Day the Crayons Quit, provided the students with some life lessons of being sensitive and inclusive. After reading the book, the students asked her what they needed to know to prepare for college.

Dr. Nish noted, "It’s never too early to have students thinking about college—and about attending Southwestern."
