Highlights from the 2013 Read Across America Kickoff Event at the New York Public Library

NEA’s Read Across America Cat-a-Van Tours Hit the Road

Three Cat-a-Vans logged more than 5,100 miles as they traveled from coast to coast to deliver an important message about reading and oral health to students in more than 30 schools. Made possible through a unique partnership between the National Education Association and Renaissance Dental – the tours began on Monday, February 25, and concluded on Friday, March 1—the official Read Across America Day.
Check out highlights from the Cat-a-Vans online.
