Dr. Seuss' Day

Gilbert Elementary will celebrate the life and works of Dr. Seuss on Thursday, March 20. Among Dr. Seuss' trademarks were his rhyming text and his outlandish creatures. He wrote and illustrated 44 children's books. This wonderful author gave us such favorites as Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in the Hat, Horton Hears a Who, and many others.

Students are encouraged to dress up as their favorite Dr. Seuss character and join in the zany fun-filled activities. You can even make Gak! What's that you say? Come and find out on Thursday! The fun starts at 8:00 a.m. for first graders. There will also be a parade of characters at the assembly around 1:15 p.m.
