Read Across America

March is Read Across America month! Read Across America is an annual reading motivation and awareness program. Read more about the program here.

Southgate students love reading and that makes March a great month at Southgate! As part of our participation in Read Across America, Southgate is having a Read-a-thon (March 2-25). Students will track their reading minutes each week while they read their way across America. The more minutes they read the farther they will go! Please encourage your child to keep track of all the minutes they read.



Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

Wow, how is it possible for March to be here already? The months are flying by...



March 2nd (tomorrow!) is Dr. Seuss's Birthday. Students who purchased Dr. Seuss hats may wear their hat to school on this day. We will have birthday cake and sing Happy Birthday to Dr. Seuss during lunch time. PTG has a few additonal hats for sale for $5 each.
