The first week of March is Dr. Seuss Week at Leesburg Open Arms. March 2 (Dr. Seuss' birthday) has been adopted as the annual date for National Read Across America Day, an initiative on reading created by the National Education Association. At LOA we feature his books all week, the children and staff dress up as their favorite Seuss character and decorate all the classroom doors in a Dr. Seuss theme. We then have a contest for the best door, which our Schoolagers vote on. Around LOA you will see so many signs of Dr. Seuss like the Cat In The Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, Thing One's and Thing Two's and many more!
