All Saints to celebrate Dr. Seuss
“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.” Dr. Seuss made reading fun for kids – and adults, alike. On Friday, All Saints Catholic School will host a birthday party for Dr. Seuss, who would be 105 years young.
Sports mascots, local celebrities, cartoon characters, and more will join the party to celebrate Dr. Seuss. Friday is also the 12th anniversary of the Read Across America program.
The party will include guest readers, such as Spike from Gonzaga University, Otto from the Spokane Indians, Lilac Queen Chloe Crittenden, Fire Chief Bobby Williams, and more to read Seuss favorites like “Cat and the Hat,” “One Fish, Two Fish,” and “Horton Hears a Who.”
An opening ceremony will be held at St. Peter’s Church, 3510 E. 18th Ave., to introduce the guest readers. The celebration will wrap up at 11:30 a.m. with a group Dr. Suess-Sing-Along, back at the church.
