Old Bethpage Elementary School Celebrates Read Aloud Day

Old Bethpage Elementary School hosted a Dr. Seuss Read Aloud Day as part of its Pick a Reading Partner month celebrations this March.

Students greeted guests—including some of their own parents, Board of Education members and other special members of the community—who volunteered to visit and read to the students. In addition to reading, visitors also shared information about their various career paths, including those in the fields of medicine, environmental conservation, real estate, politics and rocket science.

As Read Aloud Day began and guests arrived, invitees were met by student government members and student ambassadors dressed in Cat in the Hat attire. The participants left that day feeling proud and energized, while the students left inspired and thinking about their bright futures. As Dr. Seuss once wrote, “You’re off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, So… get on your way!" The students are well on their way to accomplishing great things!
