MANCHESTER – National Read Across America Day was celebrated on March 2, the birthday of Dr. Seuss!

The annual event is a part of Read Across America, an initiative on reading created by the National Education Association. The week-long celebration is designed to encourage reading in children and is fostered through the schools.

This motivating day of awareness calls all children and youth to celebrate reading. The students and staff of the Manchester Township School District celebrated across the schools with guest readers popping into their classrooms throughout the day! Thank you to everyone who came to make the day special for our students.
