Celebrations:
Read Across America Week is a time-honored tradition. Celebrating Dr. Seuss's birthday, it is dedicated to spreading the word about children's literature and encouraging the joys of reading. Central's Media Center always marks the occasion with various reading activities and book-related promotions. Guest speakers grace our center as well as our own principal, Dr. Moore; share their love of reading with our students.
Thanks, Mrs. Cross
