Volunteer Readers Needed

Are you a Horton Hears a Who! fan, or are you more partial to Green Eggs and Ham?

Monday March 2nd is Dr. Suess' birthday. The National Endowment for the Arts is observing the occasion by sponsoring a nationwide Read Across America event. The NEA is wants children all across the country to be reading Dr. Suess.

Claremont's Mountain View Elementary School will take part Monday and seeks volunteers to help out by reading their favorite Dr. Suess books to children from 8:30am to 11am Monday morning. If you've got the spare time, it's a great opportunity share your love of reading and to give back to the community. If you're interested, contact the school at (909) 398-0308.

The school also has a website with contact information.
