Wacky Wednesday at Waitsburg Elementary

Waitsburg first graders posed with teacher Dinah Lindsey and parapro Carol White during Wacky Wednesday at Waitsburg Elementary School last week. Students went from classroom to classroom, listening to Dr. Suess stories and participating in different activities in each room, in honor of Dr. Suess.

The pledge below was read by Supt. Carol Clarke during an end of the day assembly.

The Readers’ Pledge

I promise to read

Each day and each night.

I know it’s the key

To growing up right.

I’ll read to myself,

I’ll read to a crowd.

It makes no difference

If silent or loud.

I’ll read at my desk,

At home and at school,

On my bean bag or bed,

By the fire or pool.

Each book that I read

Puts smarts in my head,

‘Cause brains grow more thoughts

The more they are fed.

So I take this oath

To make reading my way

Of feeding my brain

What it needs every day.
