It was a day for students, teachers, staff, community members and the Superintendent of Schools to come together participating in a really fun activity, reading. National Read Across America Day was established in 1998 to help get kids excited about reading. The day occurs each year on the birthday of children’s book author Dr. Seuss.
At Heartland Elementary School, students in every classroom had the opportunity to read a famous tale from a Dr. Seuss book. Members of the community and Superintendent Anthony Godfrey joined in the fun, reading to students.
At Foothills Elementary they celebrated the joy of reading as well with an annual tradition started by Principal Wilson. All of the classes partner up with their buddy classes in the hall and read books for 20 minutes. The school’s awesome nutrition manager and workers made sugar cookies for all the kids and staff, and the cookies were passed out to students reading in the hall.
We hope you enjoy a book and celebrate reading every day!
