Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss February 25th-March 1st March 2nd is Dr. Seuss’ birthday—Did you know Dr. Seuss would be 115 this year?

So next Wapello Elementary will honor him with dress up days, activities, and reading our favorite Dr. Seuss books. Monday- “Hats off to Dr. Seuss” (wear a hat or dress up like a Dr. Seuss character) Tuesday- “Read My Shirt” (wear a shirt others can read) Wednesday- “Wacky Wednesday” (wear crazy socks, crazy hair or mismatched clothes) Thursday- “The Lorax Mustache You a Question” (wear a mustache) Friday- “Cozy Up and Read” (wear your pajamas) #wearewapello #wapellotribepride
