March
Read Across America Day
Tuesday, March 2 • 9:30 am - 12:30 pm
March 2nd is Dr. Seuss's 106th birthday and along with the rest of the nation, we'll be joining the 'Read Across America Day' celebration by stocking our Reading Tent with Dr. Suess and many other new books to read-aloud. There will also be special Dr. Seuss-style art activities in the Art Studio. If you can't join us today, make a special effort to read-aloud to your child today (and you'll be giving your child a tremendous boost if you make it a daily, 20-minute habit)!
