Students and teachers at Gill Hall Elementary School in West Jefferson Hills School District celebrated Read Across America Week March 2-6. They dressed in Dr. Seuss-themed clothes throughout the week, from wearing silly socks for “Fox in Sox” Day to wearing green in honor of “Green Eggs & Ham” Day. On March 6, they wore their pajamas to school to celebrate the “Sleep Book” — and capped off the week with a fun assembly where students got to throw pies at their teachers!
