The district welcomed its hometown hero, D'Brickashaw Ferguson, back for Read Across America Day.
Ferguson, an offensive tackle for the New York Jets drafted in 2006, visited the district's four elementary schools for special readings of his book,"Brick's Way Go Green." The football superstar began by reading to students at Bayview, then made his way to Archer and New Visions before culminating at Giblyn, the school he attended. Ferguson answered students' questions following the readings and donated hundreds of copies of the book to each school.
