Read Across America Day
On Monday, March 3, many of our United States schools celebrated Read Across America Day, an annual event commemorating the life and works of Dr. Seuss. At one Appalachian elementary school, teenage volunteers dressed as Dr. Seuss characters read classics like The Cat in the Hat to students enrolled in kindergarten and Head Start. Older children took turns reading to one another. Through a partnership with The Pajama Program, we provided the children with new pajamas and copies of Dr. Seuss books.
