SGES Kicks Off Week Long Celebration of Reading
by Wendy Willi
March 01, 2008
Students at St. George Elementary School got a special treat Monday morning when the Cat in the Hat himself showed up to read and helped kick-off Read Across America Week. Read Across America is an annual celebration that takes place on or around March 2, the birthday of Dr. Seuss. Each day we will feature a different Dr.
Seuss book in honor of the well-known author's birthday. Students are asked to dress in the color of the book. If they wear the book color to school each day their name will be entered into a drawing and they will have a chance to win that book. At the end of the day Mrs. Willi or Ms. Edwards will draw one lucky winner.
The featured books are:
