Well March certainly came in with a roar of activity here at the Ohio State School for the Blind this year! On March 2nd, Dr. Seuss Day and National Read Across America Day, Mrs. Ada Kent, the librarian at the Ohio School for the Deaf and I hosted Senator and Mrs. John Glenn here at the Ohio State School for the Blind! The Glenns read HORTON HATCHES THE EGG and GREEN EGGS AND HAM for our students. We all had a wonderful time with the Glenns, and our students especially enjoyed meeting some real American heroes.
This month will find students in the library reading about Spring, the Spring Equinox (March 20th), St. Patrick’s Day, and going into April, April fool’s day! Our Book Club will shortly begin its last book of the school year next week. We will be reading THE LIGHTNING THIEF: PERCY JACKSON AND THE YOUNG OLYMPIANS by Rick Riordan. Sound familiar? It was just recently released as a movie last month.
Soon Spring will be entering into the picture. The snow will melt, and the birds will come back to the campus. Students will be able to go outside and enjoy the warm weather and perhaps even read outdoors. Spring Break will be the first full week of April, so don’t forget that books, gift cards for book stores make for excellent treats in that Easter basket!
Wishing you all a wonderful month,
