Students at Bratt Elementary School took part in the Read Across America and celebrated the 105th birthday of beloved children’s author Dr. Seuss this week.

In the first grade, students wore Cat In The Hat style hats. They also made edible hats, read stories and took part in other activities to celebrate the birthday of Theodore Geise, better known as Dr. Seuss.

On the morning announcements, first grade teacher Mrs. Trice, talked about Dr. Seuss and read passages from a variety of Dr. Seuss books. Librarian Mrs. Jeter introduced a biography about Dr. Seuss and a Cat In The Hat video that played over the school’s closed circuit television system.

Other classes wore Cat In The Hat paper hats and participated in a variety of activities to celebrate Dr. Seuss’ birthday and promote reading.

    Century girl—
    Bratt made the “press” because they provided the information. The reading coordinators or principals at all four elementary schools in North Escambia were asked to provide information about any Dr. Seuss events they had, and only Bratt responded. Carver/Century did not.

    Don’t accuse me of not being fair to Carver/Century. If anything, more coverage has been provided to “good things” (not the closure or the F) at Carver/Century than any other elementary school in North Escambia. Why? Because they make the news so much for the bad things. So I try to balance that with the good things.

    Carver- Century also had Dr. Seuss week and had area business people volunteer to read to various classes. Why did Bratt make the press but not Carver-Century?

    Carver-Century does good things too! But then again, it’s not Bratt, I guess. Oh well, Carver-Century I guess the kids their are getting a lesson in politics way to early in their little lives. There are some things that just aren’t fair.
