'THE LORAX' by Dr. Seuss - Read by Danny DeVito"

This year marks the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, and there is no better way to celebrate this occasion than to have Dr. Seuss’s good friend Danny DeVito read 'The Lorax'.

Today, on this 50th anniversary of Earth Day the Lorax’s message is even more relevant. Dr. Seuss’s beloved story teaches all of us to speak up and make a difference. The Lorax tells the story, in a playful and hopeful way, of the beautiful Truffula Trees and the danger of taking our earth for granted. The book teaches us that just one small seed, or one small child, can make a difference.

“UNLESS someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”

The webinar will still take place on March 28th at 11:00 am, but this is a great opportunity for distance learning in a virtual setting during this challenging time.
