March 2 - A Date to Celebrate!

On March 2, which is Dr. Seuss's birthday, we kick off Read Across America Week. Dr. Seuss (Theodore Giesel) was born on March 2, 1904, which means this year would be his 105th birthday! To celebrate this week at Indian Springs, we will have guest readers, some small parties, and fun attire days.

On Monday, be sure to wear your PJ's or your red, white, and blue.

On Tuesday, wear your orange and white or your opposite/mismatched clothes.

On Wednesday, wear a fun hat or your Indian Springs colors of maroon and gold (this would be a great day for your ISE spirit wear)!

A history aside:
Did you know that March 2 is a notable date for another reason? Your blogmaster is from Texas, and she feels compelled to share with you that March 2 is also Texas Independence Day. On March 2, 1836, Texas declared its independence from Mexico (during the Battle of the Alamo), thus beginning its almost 10-year run as an independent country, the Republic of Texas. Texas subsequently joined the Union in 1845, becoming the 28th state.
