Read Across America week begins on March 1 and the New England Patriots want to celebrate with you! As we all practice social distancing, we want to make sure that all students continue their reading.
Current and former Patriots players and cheerleaders read some of their favorite children's books to share with you. We hope you will join us by reading at home or in school and watching the videos below.
