Read Across America Week is celebrated from March 2nd to 6th — it begins on the birthday of the beloved author, Dr. Seuss, who many schools are celebrating with a spirited dress-up week. The entire month of March, in fact, is dedicated to reading. This week, we'll be featuring a different PHS student doing a daily read aloud that our schools can share and watch with their students. First up is IsaBella Miller, a member of the Preston High School's Lady Knight's Basketball Team and journalist-to- be. She chose to read the book titled, My Tooth is Loose.
