Students across the Center Moriches School District joined a nationwide celebration of reading and literature on March 2. The day, which marks Dr. Seuss’ birthday, is also known as Read Across America Day. Schools, libraries and families are encouraged to come together to foster a love for reading.
Center Moriches Middle School held its annual read aloud, a culmination of the Read Around the School program. Beginning in January, students are given incentives including raffles and gift cards, to read a number of books. Come March 2, they gather in the building’s library to share a portion of one of their favorite books aloud.
Clayton Huey Elementary School welcomed a special visitor – the Cat in the Hat! Principal Dennis Ricci dressed up as the famous character to visit classrooms and get students excited about reading. Elementary students participated in several in-class activities focused on Dr. Suess and his many books.
