Homage to Dr. Seuss: Cat in the Hat cookies


Yesterday was Read Across America day, an event held in elementary schools and libraries in honor of the March 2 birthday of the prolific author Dr. Seuss, also known as Theodor Geisel.

He would have turned 109 today.

This display of Cat in the Hat cookies caught my eye when I was visiting Bungay School in Seymour for its celebration.



Seymour Middle School Principal Bernadette Hamad is in the Cat in the Hat spirit as she reads "The Lorax" to fifth graders in Michael Milia's classroom at Bungay School. 

A quote from the story: “I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees. I speak for the trees for the trees have no tongues.” 

Hamad told students when they get to the middle school next fall they will have an opportunity to join the school's active Audubon Club to help take care of the environment.
