Read Across America Kick Off Week

Green Eggs & Ham Anyone? These innovative students and their Moms made some awesome shirts to gear up for Read Across America last Friday.

Got to read it to believe it.

The Lorax, by Dr. Seuss is a children's story worth pondering over. Do we, collectively, do our part to take care of this world we live in? Do we teach our children to leave it better than we found it? Some would say this is over thinking a children's story. Some have even gone as far as to ban it. Yes, you read correctly. In 1989 California banned The Lorax, as they felt it was hurting the forest industry. Anyway, enough said on this controversial topic. Don't these cuties pictured make you smile?
