Dr. Seuss Week, also recognized as Read Across America Week, is an annual celebration that takes place around the birthday of author Dr. Seuss. This week is marked by various schools, libraries, and community organizations hosting a range of engaging events and activities aimed at fostering a love for reading and enhancing literacy skills among children.

This year, the elementary school embraced Dr. Seuss Week with various activities and a theme for each day.

• Monday: Many Colored Monday
  The week kicked off with Many Colored Monday, where students showcased their creativity by dressing in an array of colors.

• Tuesday: 100th Day Celebration
  On Tuesday, students were invited to dress as if they were 100 years old or to wear 100 of something as part of the celebration for the 100th day of school.

• Wednesday: Sleep Book Day
  Midweek brought the theme of Sleep Book Day, where students and staff took a break from their usual attire and enjoyed wearing their favorite pajamas.

• Thursday: If I Ran a Zoo
  Thursday was themed around the popular Dr. Seuss book "If I Ran a Zoo." Students embraced this theme by wearing animal prints.

• Friday: Cat in the Hat Day
  The week concluded with Cat in the Hat Day, which coincided with our school spirit day. Students proudly wore their red, white, and blue attire in celebration of this iconic character from Dr. Seuss's beloved stories.

This month's Rams party consisted of playing different board games. The students were able to chose from a variety of games like Sorry, Jenga, Twister, Life and Trouble.

This month's Book of the Month focused on Dr. Seuss. Students in 5th grade chose their favorite books to read to the younger classes.

Winners of this month's book of the month were Ximena Camacho and Jayden Gonzalez.

Rylee Bacon gave his FFA presentation to the first grade class on how to make butter! Students worked in groups to mix the ingredients in a jar to create a delicious spread that they were able to enjoy on crackers.

Mrs. Bowin's 1st grade class has been working on attributes of 3D shapes and created shape aliens!

Elementary students had the fun task of finding 100 Mrs. Smiths all over the school!

Thank you to Mrs. Gebauer and Mrs. Reynolds for this fun activity!

On Monday, our junior and seniors had the opportunity to participate in mock interviews. Students met with members of the community for a speed-dating style interview, where students rotated through multiple interviewers for brief, structured sessions.

Our students were able to go through the process of what an interview is like and get feedback on how to refine their communication and professional skills.

Thank you to the community members who volunteered their time and to Mrs. Houston for organizing. We look forward to hosting this event each year!

Five Akron students are continuing to explore their career pathways with nursing classes through NJC. This week students had the opportunity to experience clinicals in a mobile lab setting right here in the school parking lot. The lab is set up much like a doctor's office, allowing the students to perform CPR, blood pressure and properly moving patients.

Members of the FCCLA group gave presentations to the elementary students this week. Mrs. Poss' class was led by Terran Couch, Darin Knutzen and James Vorce. Students painted rocks to be used around the school to bring smiles to all who see them.

The 8th graders and preschoolers were back having some fun! Last week they made a craft together and this Wednesday the MIGHTY RAMS had free play. They did some building, painting, drawing, catching, and creating! All coming together, creating memories, and discovering new adventures.

We love Wednesdays!!
