Celebrating Dr. Seuss’s Birthday

Westport’s Saugatuck Elementary School today celebrated Dr. Seuss’s birthday and National Read Across America Day by launching its “One Book, One School” initiative. The school-wide book club was kicked off at a special meeting that unveiled the book’s title, “Kenny and the Dragon” by Tony DiTerlizzi, and treated students to a playact of the book. Every family received a keepsake copy, courtesy of the school’s PTA, as well as every faculty and staff member. Said Principal Beth Messler (pictured with students in Amy Howland’s first grade class): “We aim to build a community of readers and have fun doing it.” (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Contributed photo
