The Washburn 21st Century After School Program provided a fun-filled evening celebrating Dr. Seuss on March 1st. Students in pre-K through second grade, along with a parent, enjoyed activities including Dr. Seuss Bingo, crafts, reading time and few others.
Birthday cake and Dr. Seuss items were provided. The Cat In The Hat stopped by for pictures, as well.
