First-grader Gracie Kolat belts out a tune with the Seuss Singers as she helps celebrate a successful Read-a-thon at Frank Porter Graham Elementary School last Friday, the birthday of Seuss creator Theodor Geisel and Read Across America Day. From Jan. 20 to Feb. 3, FPG students were asked to read as much as they could to reach a collective goal of 680,000 minutes read. Students surpassed the goal, logging more than 942,000 minutes of reading, an average of more than 31 hours per student.
