To get kids excited about reading and encourage more adults to spend time reading with their children, the WBSD is partnering with the National Education Association (NEA) to celebrate Dr. Seuss’ birthday in the national Read Across America event on Wednesday, March 2, 2016.

The WBSD is looking for volunteers to read one book to an elementary classroom in our PreK through sixth grade classrooms; books will be provided at the event. We would like to have one volunteer reader for each one of our classrooms…that’s a total of 150 volunteers!

Volunteers are needed from 9:15 – 10:15 a.m. at Rolfs Education Center, Jackson, McLane, and, and from 12:45 – 1:45 p.m. at Green Tree, Fair Park and Decorah Elementary Schools. Silverbrook Intermediate School needs volunteers to read from 8:30 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. and from 10 a.m. – 11 a.m. for several classrooms.

Let's all join together on March 2, 2016, and every day thereafter, to ensure that our children have caring adults to share books and rich reading experiences.
