Body
The sky hung heavy with gray clouds Monday morning, casting a somber tone over the corner of town where memories had stacked up like bottles on a shelf.

Read Across America Week brings fun and literacy to Central City Public Schools

Body
Students at Central City Public Schools are celebrating the joy of reading with Read Across America Week, a nationwide initiative established by the National Education Association (NEA) in 1997. The program, originally designed as a single-day event on March 2—Dr. Seuss’s birthday—has evolved into a week-long celebration aimed at encouraging students to embrace literacy in a fun and engaging way. This year, Central City students are participating in a variety of themed days to bring excitement to the school day while promoting reading. The week began on Monday, March 3, with no school due to parent-teacher conferences. On Tuesday, March 4, students were encouraged to bring their water in anything but a traditional water bottle, leading to creative and sometimes humorous alternatives. Wednesday, March 5, gave students the opportunity to dress as their favorite Dr. Seuss character or wear their silliest mis-matched clothes in the spirit of fun. On Thursday, March 6, students will celebrate Hat Day by wearing their favorite headwear, allowing them to skip their usual morning hair routine in favor of something more festive. The week will conclude on Friday, March 7, with Pajama Day, where students can wear their coziest sleepwear while enjoying a good book.
