You’re never going to believe who stopped by to read with us today?!? 👀📚
The one and only The Once-ler! That’s right — the Once-ler and The Lorax brought loads of fun to E.C. Elementary when they stopped by to read our librarian’s personal favorite, The Lorax by Dr. Seuss! 🌳💚
Story time was even more exciting with a super-crazy Wacky Wednesday party mix and a special gift of books for every student from the E.C. P.A.C. 🎉📖
Help us build a love for reading outside our walls as well as inside them — because reading builds brains! 🧠✨

It’s been a CRAZY, busy week inside the E.C. walls! 🎉 So many fun characters have visited us!

Smiles, music, and lots of groovy moves made it a day to remember! 💙🎶 #PreschoolFun #PeteTheCat #CoolCatBoogie
