Today the elementary kids are "celebrating" Dr. Seuss Day at school. Actually, I think they've been talking about it all week, answering trivia questions (Who Hatched the Egg?), reading appropriate books & have culminating activities scheduled for this afternoon.
And, here I was under the impression that public schools do not celebrate
religious holidays.
Anyway, the kids were requested to wear red & white today. You know, because the Hat of the Cat is red & white striped.
MiniMe comes bouncing down the stairs this morning sporting a nice red t-shirt (totally from a thrift shop) & informs me that in addition to it being Dr. Seuss Day that today is also God Day.
OK, may religious standard are different here in Virginia. And, it is the first week of Lent. But, seriously, God Day in a public school? A very multicultural school at that.
Desperately wanting to know more, I inquired . . . .
Hey, Sweetie, what makes you think it's God Day?
Because they also told us that today was also Spirit Day.
Oh, I see.
Anyone care to guess the school colors?

Braden would have to take the day off because I don't believe in celebrating Dr.Seuss day. It would have been too much for my eyes to have seen all the kids dressed in red and white. They would have had to commit me:)
Did they eat baby cheeses? Miss ya! Hugs, Heather
