A huge thank you to a great teacher, Mrs. Maggie Viarello Stickler for organizing this Reading session.
It's easy to see Maggie's dedication to ensure that her students have the best chance at a bright future. This is true community leadership.
WHAT is
"Read Across America Week"
anyways?
From Blog referenced below:
Read Across America Day, also known as Dr Seuss Day, is a yearly observance in the USA inaugurated by the NEA (National Education Association). It is held on the school day that is nearest to 2 March, Dr Seuss birthday.
Theodor Seuss Geisel was an American artist, book publisher, animator, poet, a political cartoonist as well as an author. He is best known for authoring over 60 children’s books.
NEA launched the Read Across America, which is an initiative on reading that began in 1997, to encourage children in reading more books and also getting them excited about reading. On 2 March 1998, the first Read Across America Day was celebrated; since then, it has been held annually.
The holiday mainly focuses on motivating children to read as it improves their performance in school. On this day, hospitals, bookstores, community centres, churches, libraries as well as schools host many events to support the Read Across America Day.
