McKinley Elementary recently celebrated Read Across America/Dr. Seuss’ birthday with guest readers and literacy activities. Read Across America is not just being celebrated on one day but also during the entire month of March as students are having a Drop Everything and Read Week and the entire McKinley Elementary is reading the “One and Only Ivan.” With the Drop and Read once a day at different types, the announcement is made to “drop and read.” Everyone in the school is supposed to stop whatever they are doing and read for 15 minutes.
