Senator Skoufis Visits Temple Hill Academy
In celebration of Read Across America, Senator James Skoufis (D-Hudson Valley) visited Temple Hill Academy to read to a 4th grade class. Read Across America is an annual awareness program founded by the National Education Association to promote the importance of reading among young students.
“My thanks to Principal Lopez and everyone at Temple Hill Academy who welcomed me into their classroom for Read Across America Day,” said Senator Skoufis. “Since I began in the Legislature, access to quality education has been a top priority of mine. I’ll never stop fighting for our students to get the education they deserve."
While Senator Skoufis was serving in the Assembly, he successfully secured a $250,000 grant for Temple Hill Academy to purchase Chromebooks for the students.
