On March 2, Read Across America is celebrated each year on Theodor Geisel's (Dr. Seuss) birthday. Read Across America is sponsored by the National Education Association and is an annual reading motivation and awareness program. To encourage reading, teachers often try to find community members to read a Dr. Seuss book for their students. This year, Mrs. McDonald of the Ferndale Elementary School staff asked Officer Lindsey Frank of the Ferndale Police Department to come in and read Dr. Seuss's Green Eggs and Ham to her 1st grade students.
