The 24th annual “Drop Everything and Read,” or D.E.A.R., Day, was held on Friday, Feb. 26, as students throughout Waxahachie ISD read a book.
The virtual event was kicked off with a video greeting from Superintendent Dr. Bonny Cain. Last year’s DEAR Day was the last major district event we had before COVID hit, so it was a full-scale event, said Jenny Bridges, director of public relations for WISD. We are still not allowing visitors on campus, so our wonderful Partners in Education team, led by Melissa Cobb, planned a completely virtual event.
This year s DEAR Day looked a bit different as volunteers were not able to physically read books to students.
