On March 2nd, Effa, one of the Newark Bears' mascots, joined the Audrey West Preschool/Head Start Program in Newark as they took part in the National Education Association's "Read Across America Day". NEA's national reading celebration takes place each year on or near March 2, the birthday of Dr. Seuss. Across the country, thousands of schools, libraries, and community centers participate by bringing together kids, teens, and books. Effa read with the class some Dr. Seuss classics as the children were clad in red and white-striped hats.
The Audrey West Preschool/Head Start Center is part of the Newark Preschool Council. The NPC provides comprehensive services to children and their families through education, collaboration, and visionary leadership.
