Dear Families and Students,
We are having a Dr. Seuss-themed spirit week next week, in honor of Read Across America Day and the birthday of Dr. Seuss (both Monday).
Theodor Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss, was born on March 2 nd , 1904. He wrote over 60 books, which have sold over 600 million copies worldwide and have been translated into over 20 languages. My own favorite is probably How the Grinch Stole Christmas. What’s yours?
Staff will lead the spirit week celebration by reading Dr. Seuss books to students on Monday, and then we have a dress-up theme for each day of the week.
If your child (or you!) would like to dress up to celebrate our spirit week, here are the theme days: Monday: “The Sleep Book”Dress in pajamas (regular shoes, please, no slippers!)
Tuesday: “Whoville Hair”Crazy hairstyle
Wednesday: “Wacky Wednesday”Wear wacky clothes
Thursday: “Oh, the Places You’ll Go”Dress as your dream job
I’m excited to celebrate reading all next week. Our local libraries have lots of Dr. Seuss books to choose from so you can celebrate at home too.
Finally, remember that we do have school on Thursday 3/05, but there is no school on Friday
3/06.
Kind regards,
Nathan Coutsoubos
