The Trussville Rotary Daybreak Club celebrated Dr. Seuss’ birthday by giving a Dr. Seuss book to about 140 kindergartners at Paine Primary. They have been working hard to instill the love of reading in young readers by having regular reading sessions with Paine Primary students for many years.
Several members of the Trussville Rotary Club give of their time every Wednesday morning to help these students improve their reading skills by listening while the students read to them.
Mary Jean Sanspree, an active member of the Rotary Club, came up with the idea of presenting books to the children and said the children were excited to open up their books. The teachers were given the opportunity to select their favorite book for the children in their class.
Rotarians and friends helping out with the book distribution were Tom Ruf, David and Betty Cork, Van Horne, John Patterson, Rudy Griffin, Fran Aldridge, Mary Jean Sanspree and her grandson Trent.
The club meets at 7 a.m. on Wednesday mornings at Spare Time Entertainment, 3600 Roosevelt Blvd., in Trussville.
