March is Dr. Seuss month and what better way to participate with REACH OUT and READ than to spread the FUN, EXCITEMENT and JOY of reading Dr. Seuss by creating a Seuss party for the children of Independence schools. The party consisted of a photo area with life size Seuss cut outs, donated by ARCDECOR and painted by Kim Matthews. Each child could sit or stand with the characters and have their picture taken. A craft table was set up for the children to make picture frames for their Seussian photos. A second craft area allowed the children to make CAT IN THE HAT hats. Many of them started here so they could wear their hats in the photo. A third table featured a Dr. Seuss coloring and activity book. A snack table was filled with gold fish and CAT IN THE HAT cookies. The reading corner was always full with young listeners hearing about Thing 1 and Thing 2, and of course our main guest of honor CAT IN THE HAT. The children showed much enthusiasm and laughter!
