Grantham Middle NJHS Students Celebrate Read Across America

Disponible en:

In observance of Read Across America Day, Grantham Academy’s chapter of the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) honored Dr. Seuss’ 109th birthday by reading to the kindergarten students at Raymond Academy. The students had a great time giving back to their community and encouraging younger students to keep reading!

The students joined millions of their peers across the country to celebrate the 16th annual National Education Association’s (NEA) Read Across America Day on 
Friday, March 1. NEA’s Read Across America Day, which celebrates Dr. Seuss’s birthday and the joys of reading, expects more than 45 million readers, both young and old, to pick up a book and read.

To honor the good doctor and celebrate the fun and value of reading, organizations are annually encouraged to join NEA and many of America’s leading literacy, youth, and civic groups in bringing a nation of readers together under one hat-the red and white stovepipe made famous by the Cat in the Hat-for a flurry (or furry) of reading excitement!

NEA’s goal is to show America’s children the joy of reading and build a nation of readers-on March 1 and every day. For more information, visit NEA’s Read Across America website or the Read Across America website and learn of other reading celebrations that are happening from coast to coast.
