Greetings - 

READ ACROSS AMERICA WEEK/mini THON Week
According to the National Education Association, motivating children to read is an important factor in student achievement and creating lifelong successful readers. Research has shown that children who are motivated and spend more time reading do better in school.  Brilliant, playful, and always respectful of children, Dr. Seuss charmed his way into the consciousness of four generations of youngsters and parents. In the process, he helped millions of children learn to read.  

In addition to celebrating Dr. Seuss's birthday, we are getting ready for our mini THON. During our mini THON, the students will be learning about the Four Diamonds Fund. The Four Diamonds' mission is to conquer childhood cancer by assisting children and their families through superior care, comprehensive support and innovative research. We want to help the Four Diamonds Fund help these children beat cancer!

If our school raises $10,000 for mini THON, Mrs. Novick and Mrs. Lena are dying their hair blue in honor of the Four Diamonds Fund.

We will be celebrating Dr. Seuss's birthday and getting ready for our mini THON February 26 through March 2 with the following themes each day:
Monday, 2/26: Superhero Day- Cancer kids are OUR heroes -- Wear a superhero costume.
Tuesday, 2/27: Hats off to Finding a Cure-- Wear your favorite hat.
Wednesday, 2/28: Wacky Wednesday  - Don't judge a book by its cover -- Wear your wackiest outfit.
Thursday, 3/1: Crazy Sock Day - Sock it to Cancer -- Wear your wackiest socks.
Friday, 3/2: Dr. Seuss's Birthday/mini THON  - Green Day - GR stands up to Cancer-- Wear green or gator gear.
