Our VPK students had a wonderful time celebrating Dr. Seuss Week! All week long they enjoyed fun stories, creative activities, and lots of laughter inspired by the imaginative world of Dr. Seuss. We wrapped up the celebration today with our students dressed as their favorite Dr. Seuss characters—bringing the stories to life in the most colorful and creative ways. It was a fantastic week of reading, learning, and fun! #myses
