SUMMARY:National Read Across America
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, National Read Across America Day is celebrated on March 2nd\, the birthday of Dr. Seuss. The annual event is part of Read Across America\, an initiative on reading created by the National Education Association. Since the event is designed to encourage reading in children and is fostered through the schools\, when March 2 lands on a weekend\, as it is this year\, the day is observed on the closest school day\, which will be March 1. \nThis motivational and awareness day calls all children and youth in every community across the United States to celebrate reading. It encourages them to read where ever they are. Great ways to inspire reading in children include: \nKeep books everywhere you spend time. Put them in the car\, in every room of the house\, and tuck them in backpacks and purses. Make them easily accessible. \nVisit the library often. Knowing how to use the library and learning the benefits of a library fosters a love of reading as well as genuine respect for the services libraries provide. \nGet caught reading. Children imitate what they see the adults around them do. Whether they see you read a magazine\, newspaper\, or novel\, let them know reading is the cool thing to do. \nRead to your children. No matter their age\, reading aloud strengthens their vocabulary and language skills. It also opens up opportunities for discussion. \nHave your children read to you\, too. You never know what you might learn!

SUMMARY:NATIONAL PUPPY DAY
DESCRIPTION:Observed each year on March 23\, National Puppy Day celebrates the unconditional love and affection puppies bring to our lives. Their cuddles and wiggles make us smile and without a doubt\, there are squeals of delight when there are puppies around! \nThe day also brings awareness to the need for care of and homes for orphaned pups as well as to educate people about the horrors of puppy mills across the country. Puppies are a big responsibility. Be sure to consider everything involved and adopt from a shelter. The puppies there need love and a home just as much as any other and they grow into loyal pets\, too! \nAccording to the ASPCA\, approximately 3.3 million dogs enter shelters every year. Some of these dogs come with litters of puppies. If you’re seeking a puppy to start your furry family\, check the shelters first. When these abandoned and abused animals find their way to a shelter\, each one needs a forever home and their potential is limitless. \nThere are several shelters in our area.  A good place to begin your search is through National Mill Dog Rescue.  More information at https://nmdr.org.
