The Dr. Seuss Birthday Celebration

Local President Eric Wydra and other members at the Dr. Seuss celebration  

Coleman A. Young Elementary School was all about Dr. Seuss on Thursday, March 2, when Michigan’s SAG-AFTRA members arrived in celebratory bliss in honor of the famed author’s birthday. Green Eggs and Ham was the focal point, as the dish of the same name was served to about 70 excited second-graders that morning. The students helped us along, as many recited the persistent tale of Sam I Am, at times in a unified chorus.  

Several repeat performances were requested by the school coordinator, principal for kindergarteners and special ed students. It was a joyful and heartfelt morning that was complete with the assistance of local SAG-AFTRA member P.J. Edwards, appearing as the Cat in the Hat. Thanks also go to Jacqua Scott, Eric Wydra and Aida Munoz for their excellent participation.

Fun learning, reading and a good time was had by all.
