It was fitting that during “Unplugged Week” ESM students also participated in “Read Across America” day. The effort to get kids to pick up a book more often was first kicked off in 1998 and sponsored by the National Education Association.

Older students read to younger children throughout the day and teachers made extra time to read in their classrooms.

At Eastport Elementary School, students collaborated on a Seuss Sock craft during library class in recognition of the iconic author Dr. Seuss’ birthday, which is on March 2nd. At Dayton Avenue, students designed covers for the books they were reading during the week’s activities prior to Read Across America Day.
