A “Seussical” Day for Madonna Seniors

On Tuesday, March 2, several Madonna seniors celebrated Dr. Seuss’s birthday with the younger students of St. Paul’s and St. Joesph’s Schools. Michaela Bragg, Francesca Clements, Maria Gianni, Breann Jones, Eddie Nogay, Emily Palma, and Mary Pietranton all dressed as different characters from the many Dr. Seuss books. These seniors spent the morning reading a Dr. Seuss book about their particular character to the preschool through second grade classes. When they were finished, they made a quick stop with the eighth graders to discuss the upcoming “Eighth Grade Visitation Day.” The upperclassmen were available to answer questions and share stories about their Madonna experience. They wrapped up the day with lunch with the many delighted St. Paul’s students. ....reported by Senior Francesca Clements
