O-C Celebrates Read Across America With Slumber Party

On March 2, elementary students in Kindergarten – Fourth Grade celebrated Read Across America Day by having a slumber party in the gym with a focus and awareness on reading.

Students brought pajamas, blankets, pillows and their favorite books to school where they read books and listened to books being read aloud by teachers and students.

Read Across America Day was started by the National Education Association in 1998, and is held on Dr. Seuss’s birthday every year.
