BOGOTA, NJ — Today, March 4, 2022, U.S. Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5) visited E Roy Bixby Elementary School in Bogota, NJ, to read to Mr. Passaretti’s kindergarten class as a part of the nationwide Read Across America campaign.

Gottheimer read “Click, Clack, Moo. Cows That Type” — a Caldecott Honor Book by Boreen Cronin with pictures by Betsy Lewin — to 25 kindergarten students.

“We must continue to instill in our children the importance of education, imagination, and learning,” said Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5). “The power of getting lost in a book is too important for our children to lose.”
