CASCADE Locks’ Benjamin Harestad shows his headgear for last Tuesday’s Hat Day at Cascade Locks School.
Cascade Locks School held a Spirit Week March 3-6 in honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday. Students around the Hood River County School District participated in Read Across America week, which coincides with the author’s birthday each year.
In Cascade Locks, Spirit Week dress up days corresponded to Seuss books: Tuesday was hat and/or red and blue shirt day for “One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish;” Wednesday was pajama and crazy hair day for “I’m Not Going to Get Up Today;” Thursday was crazy sock and inside-out day for “Fox in Socks;” and Friday was Dress Fancy like Principal Vogel or Cascade Locks spirit shirt for “Happy Birthday to You!”
Students also decorated classroom doors and hallways with Seuss-themes. There were two winning doors chosen: the fourth and fifth grade classroom of teacher Derek Gries, whose class decorated their door to depict a scene from “Oh, the Places You Will Go!”, and the EXCEL afterschool program, with their door of multiple Seuss books. Mr. Gries’ students received an extra 15 minutes of recess for their winning door prize.
Other activities included a guest reader in each classroom and birthday cake served in honor of Dr. Seuss on Friday during lunch. The kindergarten class was awarded a popcorn party on Friday as well, as they had 98 percent participation throughout the week. First grade came in second with 95 percent.
