The Cat in the Hat Visits Osyka Elementary School

Osyka Elementary School turned into a magical world of whimsy and wonder as we celebrated "Read Across America Week" with a very special visitorโ€”Patsy Fortenberry, who brought the charming and mischievous Cat in the Hat to life right before our eyes! ๐ŸŽฉ๐Ÿฑ

In a heartwarming series of classroom visits, Mrs. Fortenberry shared the enchanting stories of Dr. Seuss, sparking imaginations and igniting a love for reading among our young learners. But the magic didn't end there! Thanks to the generosity of Lynn Bateaste and our "Save the Children Program," each child received their very own Dr. Seuss book to take home, ensuring the joy of reading would continue to grow. ๐Ÿ“–๐Ÿ’–

Adding an extra layer of sweetness to the day, Mrs. Fortenberry is none other than the mother of our beloved librarian, Jill Smith. This beautiful family connection highlighted the power of community, family, and the role we all play in fostering a love for reading in the hearts of our children. Let's keep this spirit alive and cherish the moments when we can come together to make a difference in the lives of our students. Happy reading, everyone! ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ“š

SOARING TO EXCELLENCE!
