On March 8, 2013, Rancho Santa Gertrudes School completed the Los Nietos School District’s Literacy week by completing the final “Read Across America” event in the district. Aeolian and Ada S. Nelson schools began the Los Nietos School District’s "Read Across America" celebration on March 1, 2013. March 2nd is the birthday of children's author Theodore Geisel who is known more commonly as Dr. Seuss. Each year schools nationwide celebrate his birthday and love of reading by inviting guest readers into their schools to share their passion for reading with students.
Rancho Santa Gertrudes Principal Octavio Perez got into the spirit of the day by dressing up and visiting all of his classrooms as the wildly energetic “Cat in the Hat”. Rancho teachers and students enjoyed having guests in their classrooms and listening to the readers share with them their favorite Dr. Seuss book. Members of the junior varsity and varsity baseball teams from California High School, employees from the City of Santa Fe Springs, and the Pioneer High School Cheerleaders were some of the guest readers in attendance. Superintendent Vasquez enjoyed eating a tasty helping of green eggs and ham in the Rancho Cafeteria for breakfast.
