Celebrating Dr. Seuss

and Read Across America!

As many of you may know, the famous author Dr. Seuss was born on March 2, 1904.  We will celebrate his birthday with a special “Read Across America” celebration this week.  Some special activities are outlined below:

Tuesday, March 3	Kick-Off Assembly for Read Across America
Wednesday, March 4	Community Readers:  We will be visited by someone from the community who will read us a Dr. Seuss book.  It is a mystery at the moment!
Thursday, March 5	Crazy (Fox in Socks) Sock Day!
Friday, March 6	The Cat in the Hat will pay a visit as children arrive at school. It will also be “red and white” day at school.  Dress in red and white colors to celebrate Dr. Seuss and one of his most beloved characters the Cat in the Hat!

The children are also invited to bring in their own Dr. Seuss books to share with the class as we celebrate this famous author and our love of reading.  Please be sure your name is written inside the books so that they can be returned to you when we are done. 

April brings even more reading fun!  Our celebration of reading continues on April 7and 8 when local author David Biedrzycki visits Memorial.  Look for an order form in an upcoming Thursday packet to order a David Biedrzycki book that will be personally signed by Mr. Biedrzycki to your child.

We are looking forward to these special days ahead!
