On Thursday, March 2, 2023, District 8 School Board Member Monica Colucci and District 11 County Commissioner Roberto J. Gonzalez hosted a family event in celebration of Dr. Seuss’ Birthday and National Read Across America Day. Children enjoyed listening to classic Dr. Seuss stories read aloud by Ms. Colucci and a multitude of teacher volunteers. After story time, students engaged in arts and crafts and played games such as “Pin the Hat on the Cat”. District 8 families gathered as a community and together enjoyed free popcorn and cotton candy while watching the movie “The Cat in the Hat”, based on the famous children’s book written by Dr. Seuss.

“Quality children’s literature is not only a treasure for our children but an instrumental component of their education.   Great stories bring families and communities together.  Commissioner Roberto J. Gonzalez and I were able to witness this last evening as we partnered together to celebrate literacy and reading across our nation,” said M-DCPS School Board Member Monica Colucci of District 8.

The event was supported by the Miami-Dade Police Department, Miami-Dade Fire Department, Police Explorers, Miami Dade Parks and Recreation, the Education Fund and teacher volunteers.

Young and old had a wonderful time celebrating alongside family and friends. The event took place at Westwind Lakes Park at 6805 SW 152nd Avenue, starting at 5 p.m.

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”

-Dr. Seuss
