Next week at North Mercer Elementary, we’re celebrating Read Across America Week in true Dr. Seuss style — with books here, there, and EVERYWHERE! 📖✨
In the spirit of Dr. Seuss and Read Across America, we’re adding some wacky and wonderful fun!
We’ll read in a hat.
We’ll read with a cat(not really because we can't have cats in school!).
We’ll read in bright colors —
Imagine that! 🎩🐱🌈
From silly socks to crazy hair,
There’s lots of bookish fun to share!
We’ll rhyme and giggle, flip and flop —
Because at North Mercer, readers ROCK! 🎉📚
Be sure to check the picture below to see what to wear each day —
Dress up, show up, and READ the Seuss way! ❤️🤍
We can’t wait to celebrate stories galore…
Because when we read, we open every door! 🚪✨
