Hawaii Rotary members across the state celebrated Dr. Seuss’ birthday by reading to first-grade students. Theodor Seuss Geisel was born March 2, 1904. His pen name was Dr. Seuss because his father always wanted him to be a doctor. This literacy project was a partnership with First Lady Dawn Ige, Rotary, and the Department of Education. The goal of this 5 million word campaign was to share the love of reading with students through Dr. Seuss, who is recognized with creating the standard in children’s publishing of expanding the imagination through brilliant illustrations, social issues and clever rhymes and vocabulary.
