Read Across America Day
Read Across America Day
Read Across America Day, also known as Dr. Seuss Day, is a yearly observance in the USA across schools. It is held on the school day that is closest to Dr. Seuss's birthday, March 2.
Dr. Seuss Day is focused on motivating children to read as it improves their performance in school. On this day, schools celebrate in a variety of different ways. Dr. Cerrito was invited to participate in events at State Street Elementary Center in the Wyoming Valley West School District by University of Scranton 2016 School Counseling Program graduate, Santina Wesolowski Prociak. The theme for Dr. Seuss Day was centered around child career development with a nod to the book, Oh the Places You'll Go!
Dr. Cerrito is pictured with a first grade classroom reading the book, "What Shoes Will You Wear" where she talked about preparing and dreaming about a future career and the many different job opportunities that exist along with the specific kinds of shoes needed for those jobs!
