D.C.H.S. students treated the elementary age students at DeKalb West School today (March 2) to a special reading time. It was part of the nationwide reading celebration that takes place every March 2 on Dr. Seuss’s birthday. Players, managers, and cheerleaders picked their favorite Dr. Seuss book and read to students in PreK-5th grades. Librarian Amanda Mullinax coordinated the event at the school. Across the country, thousands of schools, libraries, and community centers participate by bringing together kids, teens, and books.

The celebration continues Thursday night at DWS with “Full Steam Ahead for Camp Read S’More,” a family engagement night from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Experiments, minute-to-win-it contests, a book hike, and more fun activities are lined up. Students STREAM Fair (Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Art, and Math) projects will be on display.
