One of our favorite weeks of the year is the week we celebrate Read Across America. It'sa week that's all about reading, fun, silliness, community and of course, Dr. Seuss.
Here is what our week looked like
Day 1 (Kick-Off):
The week started with Kick-Off Assemblies
Students shared facts about Dr. Seuss
We sang the Read Across America song students learned in music class

Awesome reader, Nat Vaughn, Blake Middle School Principal
An annual favorite, Robert Parga, Medfield High School Principal

We are so fortunate that Police Chief Meany comes in the morning and in the afternoon each year!
There were many, many more readers from our wonderful community. Thank you to everyone who took time out of their busy day to read to our students.
Day 3 Crazy (Fox in Socks) Sock Day:

Day 4 (Cat in the Hat Day and wear RED & WHITE):
Students were greeted by The Cat in the Hat as they entered school
Many, many thanks to our CSA Literacy Committee (not all are pictured here) for working so tirelessly to ensure the success of our 2015 RAA
