In honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday and Read Across America, this coming Monday (March 7th), students (and staff) are invited to come to school dressed as their favorite book character (shirts that have images of book characters are also fine).  Please note, this does not have to be Dr. Seuss related, it can be a character from any book.  Students who don’t wish to dress as a storybook character on Monday should come to school in their standard uniform attire.
