The magic of reading

One of the kindergarten classes gathers on its story-telling carpet to hear Dr. Seuss’s The Cat in the Hat.

The National Education Association’s Read Across America Day was on March 3. Due to weather, Kennedy Crossan Elementary School participated on March 7 instead. Local volunteers, parents, and politicians came to the school to read different Dr. Seuss books for several hours in the morning to 10 different classes. PHOTOS BY MARIA POUCHNIKOVA
