George Washington School students celebrate Read Across America with a fun, interactive Dr. Seuss weeklong celebration
Each year, schools across the country celebrate Read Across America Week, an event organized by the National Education Association (NEA) to encourage reading and highlight the importance of literacy. Often aligned with Dr. Seuss’s birthday (March 2), schools, libraries, and families are encouraged to find creative ways to inspire children to read, fostering a love for books and the stories that they hold.
One of the many activities included a Cat in the Hat snack, made with a marshmallow, strawberries & banana slices.
George Washington School held a week long celebration, complete with a Dr. Seuss themed spirit week. Students were encouraged to dress like their favorite characters from his classic stories and enjoyed themed crafts and snacks, a book fair, and LOTS of reading! While reading is a staple of learning all year long, students had a great time celebrating their love of reading and the literary classics of Dr. Seuss.
