Did you know that Read Across America Day coincides with world-renowned and beloved childrenโs author Dr. Seussโs birthday?! The National Education Association established Read Across America in 1998 to motivate all children to read and is held yearly on March 2nd, Dr. Seussโs birthday!
We highlight some important messages shared from our incredible E2CCBโs Science of Reading (SOR) team. Cassandra Godios states โReading is escaping to unknown worlds and leaving behind the everyday, discovering new places, cultures, and people. But it is more than that. The words, the sentences, the pages carry power. I want all students to be given the power and instruction, and to feel capable readers, so they too can unlock knowledge, explore, unwind, and journey through a book.โ
Connie Stahl, another instructor of the SOR team, says โReading opens up doors to everything that you want to do in life. It enables you to experience places that you would never be able to go to physically. It allows you to have a conversation with people who lived long before you, and it helps you to accomplish anything that you want in the world of employment. On Read Across America Day, I always love to read Dr. Seuss because I find his imagination fascinating.โ
Read Across America Day reminds us the importance of literacy and the fun of learning! Students and children are encouraged to think for themselves and connect with the stories they read and love. Letโs celebrate the joy of reading together!

Students enrolled in the Criminal Justice program at LoGuidice recently took part in a science lab led by Jennifer Griem. Juniors and seniors in Jennie Alessiโs class explored the critical role autopsies play in criminal investigations. ๐ฌ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ
During the lab, students conducted a simulated autopsy using a pickle as part of the exercise, carefully documenting โinjuriesโ and recording detailed observations to determine what may have occurred.
Autopsies are a key part of forensic investigations, providing objective, scientific evidence that can connect suspects to crimes, clear the innocent, and help reconstruct events.
