St. Andrew's celebrated Read Across America on Dr. Seuss' birthday, March 2. The National Education Association annually sponsors Read Across America. Now in its 13th year, it focuses on motivating children to read, and helping them master basic skills. The reading celebration takes place each year on or near March 2. Across the country, thousands of schools, libraries, and community centers participate by bringing together kids and books.
