East Windsor Township Mayor Janice S. Mironov issued a Mayoral Proclamation recognizing Read Across America Day, which is celebrated on what would have been the 111th birthday of Theodore Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss. The Mayoral Proclamation states, “the citizens of East Windsor Township stand firmly committed to promoting reading as the catalyst for our students’ future academic success, their preparation for America’s jobs of the future, and their ability to compete in a global economy.” The Proclamation continues that East Windsor “recommits our community to engage in programs and activities to make America’s children the best readers in the world.”

Mayor Mironov joined McKnight School librarian Darwin Page, participating In Read Across America by reading Dr. Seuss books to kindergarten and first grade students in the library of the Ethel McKnight School in East Windsor Township. Mayor Mironov noted, “The McKnight School students were enthusiastic and interested, and great participants in discussing the books read to them.”
