NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) â Hundreds of elementary school students celebrated National Read Across America Day by taking home some new books.

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee, First Lady Maria Lee, Metro Police officers, Davidson County sheriff s deputies, and volunteers from the non-profit organization Book em all helped with the event.

The usual public holiday tours of the Tennessee Residence never took place this year.
That means Gov. Bill Lee s state mansion has been a quieter place this holiday season, compared to years past when Christmas tours allowed the public a rare glimpse into parts of the first family s home in the Oak Hill community, south of downtown Nashville.
But the home is still decorated as it is every Christmas this time for largely virtual audience.

Gov. Bill Lee on Sunday signed an executive order restricting social gatherings of more than 10 people and imploring people not to meet outside their immediate household for the holidays.
The new mandate excludes worship services, weddings and funerals from its scope but strongly encourages them to turn virtual or abide by health safety guidelines to help stem the spread in those settings. Lee also encouraged employers to allow employees to work from home where possible.
