Happy 106th Birthday, Dr. Seuss!
| March 2 is the birthdate of Dr. Seuss and every year on that date, Side Creek invites people from the community to read Dr. Seuss to its students. This year guest readers included: Dr. Zelda de Boyes, Aurora Court Administrator; Chad Berger, (at right) Aurora Police Officer; Matthew Wollbrinck, APS Custodial Director; and several parents of Side Creek students. Guest readers came to the school during morning and afternoon reading sessions. Over three hundred students were read to throughout the day. The reading activity was organized by Mrs. Noora Snelling of the Side Creek Media Center. |  |
