LAPLACE — In celebration of National Read Across America Day on March 2, St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff Mike Tregre and several fellow officers enjoyed reading to students at local elementary schools. Sheriff Tregre read “Delilah’s Delightful Dream,” a story about respecting others, cooperation and teamwork, for first graders at John L. Ory Communications Arts Magnet, Head Start students at Lake Pontchartrain, and first graders at LaPlace Elementary.
Cpl. Darlene Cooper had a big audience for reading at Emily Watkins Elementary in LaPlace.
To celebrate the birthday of Dr. Seuss, officers Chip Wale, Claudette Edwards, Quentin Nicholas, Kendel Harris, Danielle Falgoust and Darlene Cooper also read Seuss books to students at Emily Watkins Elementary, Lake Pontchartrain, LaPlace Elementary and Garyville-Mt. Airy Magnet.

Reading to students was a great way to spend some of their day, all of officers agreed.
