Thanks to Mrs. Rasmussen, Sage Creek's media coordinator, for providing students of all ages the opportunity to celebrate Dr. Seuss's birthday on March 2nd by performing one of his most famous books, "Horton Hears A Who", during their library time that week. These students in Mrs. Robbins fourth grade class were especially awesome! Sage Creek is so grateful to have a librarian who makes the library a fun place to be.
