The Cat in the Hat high fives the students of Indian Mills School.
costume.
Once put on, the Cat stands over seven
feet tall. That is quite an imposing figure
for elementary school students and teachers alike.
The Cat exploded into the assembly;
danced and high-fived the students during
a sing-along; followed by a school-wide
chant of the Reader's Oath.
In the end, the Cat presented Indian
Mills Elementary School with its own autographed copy of Horton Hears a Who for
the school library. And, as the good doctor
always said, You can find magic wherever
you look. Six back and relax, all you need is
a good book."
After the Cat left, the Indian Mills Memorial School's Drama Club, comprised of
students from grades five through eight,
presented Dr. Seuss skits and visited the
classrooms to read to the students. The
week-long celebration included theme
dress-up days, poster and trivia contests,
and even green eggs and ham in the cafeteria on Dr. Seuss's birthday. It was truly a
Seussational week at Indian Mills Elementary School.
