CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – The Clarksville-Montgomery County Education Association (CMCEA) is hosting Read Across America: A Stupendous Seusstastical Celebration of Reading this Sunday, March 6 from 2-4 p.m. at the Clarksville-Montgomery County Library.
Guest readers from the city, county, and state government will be in attendance, taking time to read to the Clarksville-Montgomery County community. Readers include the following:
State Senator Mark Green
State Representative Joe Pitts
County Mayor Jim Durrett
City Mayor Kim McMillan
CMCSS Director Dr. B.J. Worthington
County Sheriff John Fuson
City Councilmember Valerie Guzman
City Councilmember James Lewis

Tender Paws Pet Therapy group will be available for children to read to their pets.
Stacey Smith will lead Rossview Elementary School’s Honor Choir, and Anna Caldwell will lead Northwest High School’s Choir in a musical performance.
Oobleck will be created for your enjoyment by Northwest High School’s chemistry students at the Creation Station. (Oobleck is a non-newtonian fluid. It acts like a liquid when being poured, but like a solid when a force is acting on it. You can grab it and then it will ooze out of your hands.) Future Teachers of America, mentored by Kimberly Dennis, will be on hand to help create masks, solve missing words, and make sure your reward card earns you a Read Across America prize.
Join us on March 6 for a Seusstastical afternoon of books and fun.
The Clarksville-Montgomery County Public Library is located at 350 Pageant Lane.
