Dr. Seuss’ birthday | Letter

Published 8:00 am Wednesday, February 19, 2014

Dr Seuss’ birthday is the day to read to a child.  The National Education Association designates this date as Read Across America, a celebration of readers and books! Actually his birthday is Sunday, March 2nd.

Contact Orcas Island Elementary (376-2286, or my extension 376-1585) if you wish to read to or with a child that day.  Find some time between 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. to come to school and read to a child, small group or a class of children.  Let us know the ages that best suit you and we will arrange a time to read.  I will notify you of your time by Thursday, Feb. 27.

You are helping children value and see how beneficial being a life long reader can be.
