March 2</a></h3> <p class="m-b-1">Read Across America Day is a day celebrated each year on the birthday of Dr. Seuss and observed through ceremonies, special events and celebrations emphasizing the joys and importance of reading. As a former teacher and principal, I know that a good education starts by sharing with young Texans the joys of reading. Through sharing books with them and focusing on the importance of reading, we are equipping our schoolchildren with the tools necessary to build the strongest possible foundation for their education, and for the future of Texas. I have heard from many schools across Texas that will be participating tomorrow, and I hope all Texans will join in on the fun by grabbing your favorite book and sharing it with someone else. </p> <p class="meta"></p> </div> </div> <div class="media-object m-b-4"> <div class="media-object-section"> <div class="date"> <span class="date-month">Feb</span> <span class="date-day">28</span> </div> </div> <div class="media-object-section"> <h3 class="h2"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180303210633/https://gov.texas.gov/first-lady/post/texanthropy-spotlight-amplify-austin">Texanthropy Spotlight: Amplify Austin</a></h3> <p class="m-b-1">It’s that time of year again in Austin for the annual fundraising extravaganza known as Amplify Austin! There are hundreds of Central Austin nonprofits participating in Amplify Austin this year, and your dollars go even further than you think because many of the monetary donations are matched by generous businesses and individuals. Through Amplify Austin, millions of dollars have been raised for local nonprofits – $35 million since the first campaign in 2013.</p> <p class="meta"></p> </div> </div> <div class="media-object m-b-4"> <div class="media-object-section"> <div class="date"> <span class="date-month">Feb</span> <span class="date-day">27</span> </div> </div> <div class="media-object-section"> <h3 class="h2"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180303210633/https://gov.texas.gov/first-lady/post/celebrating-african-american-history-month">Celebrating African-American History Month</a></h3> <p class="m-b-1">In Texas, we are all one family, even though we are a state formed by people of many different races, nationalities, religions and backgrounds. Throughout the month of February, we have celebrated the rich contributions of African-Americans to the Lone Star State and our history by declaring the month as “African-American History Month” here in Texas. Greg issued a proclamation in recognition of the celebration, and I encourage all Texans to take a moment to reflect on the contributions and achievements of African-Americans in Texas, and the way they have helped impact and shape our state and culture.</p> <p class="meta"></p> </div> </div> <div class="media-object m-b-4"> <div class="media-object-section"> <div class="date"> <span class="date-month">Feb</span> <span class="date-day">20</span> </div> </div> <div class="media-object-section"> <h3 class="h2"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180303210633/https://gov.texas.gov/first-lady/post/february-is-heart-health-awareness-month">February is Heart Health Awareness Month</a></h3> <p class="m-b-1">Heart disease, which includes strokes and other cardiovascular diseases, is the number one cause of death in our nation, yet many of us do not know the significant risk heart disease poses.
