Read Across America is an annual reading motivation and awareness program that calls for every child in every community to celebrate reading on March 2, the birthday of beloved children's author Dr. Seuss. Here at St. Philip, we will celebrate with a week of "Seusstastic" activities.  Check back for SPS Green Grinches, Cats in Hats, silly slipper wearing students and much more fun!
