Schools mark birthday of magical Dr. Seuss
No one ate green eggs and ham for breakfast, but lucky students in two Southwest Brooklyn schools got the chance to enjoy the work of the famous Dr. Seuss, thanks to their teachers and some special guests.
Dr. Seuss, whose real name was Theodor Geisel, was born on March 2, 1904, and at P.S. 127 in Bay Ridge, they didn’t just take one day to mark what would have been his 112th birthday. The school celebrated for an entire week! The administration called the week of Feb. 29-March 4 “Dr. Seuss Spirit Week” and invited parents to join the fun.
Capping off the week-long event was Family Friday Pajama Day on March 4, when the students welcomed state Sen. Marty Golden, Councilmember Vincent Gentile and Laurie Windsor, president of the School District 20 Community Education Council, all of whom had a great time reading Dr. Seuss books aloud to children.
