Read Across America
RAA
March 2nd!
Each year the students, staff and community come together to celebrate Read Across America Day. Traditionally, this event is held nationwide on March 2nd in honor of Dr. Seuss's birthday. We found that one day was not enough time to celebrate the joy of reading, so our celebration is typically 3-5 days during the week of March 2nd. We enjoy speical "Seuss" activities, "celebrity" guest readers, a visit to the Cat in the Hat Cafe, along with lots of fun, games, and prizes. It is an enjoyable week for everyone involved.
You're never too old, too wacky, too wild
To pick up a book to read with a child.
You're never too busy, too cool, or too hot,
To pick up a book and share what you've got.
In schools and communities,
Let's gather around,
Let's pick up a book,
Let's pass it around.
There are kids all around you,
Kids who will need
Someone to hug,
Someone to read.
Come join us March 2nd
Your own special way
And Make this America's
Read to Kids Day!
-NEA
