Week of February 27, 2006


‘Green Eggs and Ham’ On the Menu at Burton-Pack
Read Across America is an annual event that celebrates the importance of reading on the birthday of Dr. Seuss, the nation’s most beloved children’s book author. On Tuesday, February 28, students at Burton-Pack Elementary will celebrate the day in style by wearing Dr. Seuss top hats and bow ties they have made. One class will have a breakfast of "green eggs and ham." Community members have been invited to come in and read their favorite Dr. Seuss books to students. (Note: Dr. Seuss’ birthday is actually March 2, but Burton-Pack students will celebrate it a few days early because of scheduling conflicts.)
