Silver Lake Elementary students came to the school library on March 6, one class at a time, to choose a book to add to their home library.
Many of the books were donated by the students of Saghalie Middle School and Decatur High School. Additionally, books were donated by the Honor Society of Woodinville High School as an inter-district act of friendship.
This book distribution, or Books for Bulldogs, was the final activity of a week-long celebration of reading and Dr. Seuss. Each day the students had a different activity, including Crazy Socks Day, reminiscent of “Fox in Socks,” Red and Blue Day, honoring “One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish” and Character Clothes Day, where students and staff dressed in clothes featuring their favorite characters.
After every student made their book selection, they returned to their classroom to enjoy a book read by a guest reader.
Guests included Mayor Jim Ferrell, principal Kristi White, counselor Denise Mattsen, music teacher Mari Jensen and even a teacher’s husband, Wade Webber.
