Seuss Literacy Night at Chick-Fil-A, 2014
Seuss Literacy Night at Chick-Fil-A, February 26, 2013
Each year lovers of Dr. Seuss gather with special activities to celebrate the birthday of Theodor Giesel, their favorite author. Many of these fans gathered Tuesday evening, February 26 to participate in activities hosted by the Jefferson County, WV Reading Association in concert with Shepherd University Education students at the Martinsburg and Ranson, WV Chick-fil-a Resturants.
At the Martinsburg location, young Suess fans listened to Shepherd volunteers read some of their favorite stories. “We had a fun time with the kids,” reported Kelli Crider. “I’m glad we braved the bad weather to participate.”
Alvyce Moore provided the creativity for additional activities at the Ranson location where children had the opportunity to not only hear “Horton Hatches an Egg,” but also got to make Horton Sock Puppets and feather-enhanced Mazie the lazy birds to take home. According to Kathy Moore, reading association district 3 president, “Chick-fil-a has been very supportive in helping us promote literacy in the community.”
All the kids and parents agreed that the wonderful teachers, college students, and Chick-fil-a employees that made this activity happen deserve a round of applause, especially Alvyce who designed the crafts and took the lead on organizing the event.
