Dr. Seuss Pajama Party 2024-2025
We want to extend a huge THANK YOU to all the parents, staff, and especially our incredible first responders who made Thursday night’s Pajama Party so special! 🚓🚒🚑
Our little readers had a blast listening to Dr. Seuss’ most beloved books, read aloud by our friends from the Dover Police and Fire Departments: Louis P. Sperry, Anthony Morin, Michael Cannon, and Detective Juan Concepcion; Eric Cooper, Dominick Ruiz, William Fluck, and Anthony Rosario.
📖💙 Until next year… Keep reading, keep dreaming, and always believe in the magic of a good book!
