Dr. Seuss may have only written about Thing 1 and Thing 2 but there were lots of Things running around campuses in the Escalon Unified School District on Friday, March 7. That was the day set aside for the Read Across America day in the local schools, observing the birthday of Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as children’s author Dr. Seuss. Classrooms at Farmington Elementary welcomed in guest readers and saw students spending time in their sleeping bags or with pillow pets, their noses in a book, turning page after page.
