PONCE DE LEON MIDDLE SCHOOL TO OBSERVE READ ACROSS AMERICA, MARCH 2

Contact: Alberto M. Carvalho

March 1, 2001


Students and staff at Ponce de Leon Middle Community School, 5801 Augusto Street, Coral Gables will celebrate Read Across America from 2-3 p.m. on Friday, March 2.

The goal of Read Across America is to have every child reading with a caring adult for at least 30 minutes. Community volunteers are enlisted to instill a love of reading in children to help them achieve success in the world of work and to realize that reading is fun.

The event commemorates the 97th anniversary of Theodore Geisel's birthday. Better known by the pen name Dr. Seuss, Geisel wrote The Cat in the Hat, and many other children's stories.

For more information, contact Alberto M. Carvalho, Public Information Officer, at 305-995-4638.
