We will be celebrating Dr. Seuss's birthday and Read Across America on Feb. 27th from 1-4PM. 

There will be games, prizes, refreshments and
lots of reading fun. We will have guest readers, games, crafts, refreshments and giveaways. Most of the activities will be geared towards children but we
encourage parents, older siblings, and other family members to join us
as well. Feel free to dress up either as a Seuss character, or in a "Wacky Wednesday" Fashion (mismatched socks and generally odd attire). 

Read Across America Poem

You're never too old, too wacky, too wild,
To pick up a book and 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.
