Read Across America Day is Wednesday, March 2nd - Dr. Seuss' birthday! It's not just for little ones, it's for kids of all sizes. - middle and high school too! Some schools celebrate in one day, and other make a whole week of it. Celebrating reading doesn't have to cost a lot and it doesn't need to take a lot of preparation. Take a look at this calendar of events by Robin Snider from Churchland Elementary. Click here to visit Seussville! Other events around Davidson County Schools:
Tuesday - "Cat in the Hat" (dress as your favorite Dr. Seuss character) Wednesday - "Wacky Wednesday" (inside out, backwards and mismatched) Thursday "Crazy Hair Day" (get out the hair gel!) Friday "Llama Llama Red Pajama" (pajama day)
