Celebrating Read Across America Day

Students from Jane Garard’s first grade class at Coleytown Elementary School today celebrate the 16th annual National Education Association’s (NEA) Read Across America Day with Don Rebar, Westport Country Playhouse’s associate director of marketing, as he reads them Dr. Seuss’s “The Cat in the Hat.” The Read Across America program is an annual reading motivation and awareness program that calls for every child in every community to celebrate reading on March 2, the birthday of children’s author Dr. Seuss.
