In honor of what would have been the 108th birthday of author Dr. Seuss, Brookesmith ISD held a birthday party on March 2nd that even the Cat in the Hat (pictured above) wouldn’t miss. Born Theodor Seuss Geisel in 1904, Dr. Seuss authored over 60 children’s books before his death in 1991.
As a part of their celebration, students at Brookesmith ISD helped set a nationwide record for the most Accelerated Reader tests taken in one day. In all over 3 million tests across the nation were taken on this special date.
