Bicycle Path Pre-K celebrated Read Across America Day with a special Dr. Seuss-themed event featuring students from Newfield High School’s Tri-M Music Honor Society and Thespian Honor Society. The visit brought beloved storybook characters to life and created a memorable day of literacy and learning for the young students.
Pre-K classrooms were filled with excitement as high school volunteers arrived dressed as favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including the Cat in the Hat, Sam-I-Am, Cindy Lou Who, Horton, the Lorax, and the mischievous, wild-haired “Things.” The special guests visited each classroom, delighting students while promoting a love of reading.
Throughout the day, Newfield High School students spent time reading classic Dr. Seuss stories, helping children create themed crafts, and leading engaging learning activities designed to make literacy fun and interactive. The cross-age collaboration allowed the younger students to enjoy storytelling in a lively way while allowing high school students to share their enthusiasm for reading and creativity.
The event was organized with the guidance of advisors Mr. Austin and Dr. Goldstein, who accompanied the high school volunteers during the visit. Bicycle Path Pre-K teacher Kim Hanson also played an important role in helping coordinate the event and ensuring the visit ran smoothly for students and staff.
Read Across America Day celebrates the joy and importance of reading, and the partnership between Bicycle Path Pre-K and Newfield High School helped bring that message to life energetically and memorably.
