From the border to the Valley: Sixth District U-S Representative Ben Cline celebrated Read Across America Day Thursday at a Rockingham County elementary school.

The two-term congressman stopped by Pleasant View Elementary School in Harrisonburg for a reading session with first grade students.

Cline thumbed through the pages of “House Mouse, Senate Mouse,” a book that explains the basic innerworkings of Congress for young minds.

Several other local figures celebrated Read Across America Day in area schools, including members of Harrisonburg Police and the Page County Sheriff’s Office.
