CLARKSVILLE, Tenn.- (CLARKSVILLENOW) Kenwood Middle School celebrated the birthday of Dr. Seuss/ Read Across America with fun-filled activities from March 5 through March 9.
Each day was themed based on one of the Seuss Books. Students read passages from the books over the morning announcements, made donations to local charities, held a door decoration contest, and made time to drop everything and read.
Partners in Education sponsors, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated and Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated were on hand to judge the door-decorating contest and to read to students in the CDC classrooms.
