The National Read Across America event is celebrated each year on Dr. Seuss' birthday with schools all over the country participating. This year Walker Elementary transformed into the "whimsical world of Walkerville" and had organized a week long schedule of activities. On Wednesday, February 27th they hosted several community leaders to come read to Walker students in grades TK-5th. The list of community leaders included District Attorney Summer Stephan, Channel 10 News morning team, Channel 7 Whitney Southwick, D6 staffer Luis Pallera, along with District staff from the Integrated Youth Services Division. Community Leaders were treated to breakfast and a school wide assembly and then were invited to read their favorite books to various classrooms.
