St. Joseph School celebrates Read Across America

On March 2, St. Joseph school in Wilmette celebrated Dr. Seuss’ birthday with a day-long Read Across America celebration.

Guests from the community came to read to the children, including Fr. Pollard, mayor Chris Canning, firefighter Ben Wozney and police chief Kyle Perkins.

Students were treated to visits by classic Dr. Seuss characters, such as the Cat in the Hat and Sally from the same story. The school enjoyed a Dr. Seuss birthday cake and milk in celebration of the day.

Read Across America was declared a nationwide event in 1998 by the National Education Association.
