It’s a Reading Celebration!<br />
Read Across America Day is a national event held each year<br />
on March 2 nd . This date is also the birthday of Dr. Seuss, the late<br />
author and illustrator also known as Theodor Seuss Geisel. Throughout<br />
the week of February 27 th , the elementary teachers and students<br />
honored Dr. Seuss and Read Across America Day by participating in<br />
a variety of reading, writing, science, and art activities to celebrate<br />
the joy of reading. Everyone had smiles on their faces as they were<br />
reminded that reading can be so much fun!<br />
A highlight of the celebration included 28 guest readers.<br />
Members of our school and community were invited into the K-5<br />
classrooms to share their favorite books and read to the students.<br />
Our own Elementary Principal, Mr. Kuhns, read to the entire kindergarten<br />
and first grade. Individual classrooms participated in door<br />
decorating contests with themes to support the love of reading and<br />
learning. Winning classrooms received books as prizes. Mrs. T.<br />
Smith’s third grade class door won for being the most creative; Mrs.<br />
Benner’s class won for most unique; and Mrs. Kauffman’s fourth grade class won<br />
for being the most decorative.<br />
The Cat in the Hat himself made an appearance on Friday, March 2nd.<br />
He performed small assemblies for students in K-2. All were entertained by The<br />
Cat’s antics and lively storytelling of his adventures as a small kitten growing up<br />
with a neighborhood dog. The Cat also read stories to the students, but added a<br />
strong message: to become a great reader, you must “practice, practice, practice.”<br />

to prepare the future<br />
for our children, but<br />
we can at least our<br />
children for the future.”<br />
― Franklin D. Roosevelt<br />
The Kindergarten classes enjoyed a beautiful<br />
day walking down to the Millerstown<br />
Post Office. While there, they learned a<br />
bit about how mail is sorted and delivered.<br />
Mrs. Seibert’s class is pictured above, in<br />
front of the Post Office.
