Schools to Celebrate Literacy

Posted on: February 28, 2007

The Pocatello-Chubbuck School District will be celebrating literacy Thursday March 1, 2007 says Shelley Allen Community Relations & Communications officer.

Ellis Elementary School will have Chubbuck Mayor Steve England read a proclamation to promote reading and adult involvement in teaching children to be the “best readers in the world.” The students, teachers, and people from the community will be reading together.

Syringa Elementary School grades K-3 students will be celebrating Dr. Seuss’s birthday on Thursday March 1. They will be having a “read-in” with parents and grandparents. There will be five activity groups each involving different Dr. Seuss books such as “The Cat in the Hat.” The teachers and staff are paying for the activities themselves so the children can have a “fun day with books.”

The National Education Association started the Read Across America project to get children “excited about reading.” This is celebrated every year on Dr. Seuss’s birthday March 2. There will be no school that day because it is professional development day for the teachers.
