Monday was Read Across America Day in honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday, which means it also was Read Across the Grand Island Public Schools Day.

Students and schools across the city celebrated Dr. Seuss’ birth with a variety of activities. Those included having children read books, have adults go into Grand Island’s schools to read to kids and having students go to various retirement centers to read to senior citizens.
