On March 2, the students of Woodland Consolidated School celebrated Dr. Seuss’s birthday with many activities. The students participated in Dr. Seuss activities, had a lunch of “green eggs and ham,” topped off with Dr. Seuss birthday cake for dessert. Each classroom also had a special visit from the “The Cat in the Hat” (Cindy Privette, Woodland school librarian).

As part of the Read Across America program (http://www.nea.org/readacross), older students read Dr. Seuss books with the younger students.
Also during the school-wide celebration, there was a Reading is Fundamental distribution, a federal reading program which gives a book to each student free of cost (http://www.rif.org/).
