Cat
Tracks Tour
To promote and celebrate reading in our public schools, the MEA launched a new initiative called the Cat Tracks Tour. The Tour took MEA President Lois Kilby-Chesley on a ride across Maine with the Cat in the Hat (suit worn by gracious members) to visit schools during NEA’s Read Across America. During the visits, Lois read the classes a new story and gave students a book to take home. The response from MEA members and students was amazing! In total, the Cat Tracks Tour reached more than 300 students in a dozen communities.
