In celebration of Theodore Geissel's (better known as Dr. Suess) Birthday over 10 million children in America participated in Read Across America in 2009. This year I was able to participate in the activities along with Coach McBride from Weber State, Justin Williams from 2010 American Idol, Ogden City Police Officers, nurses, veterinarians, and many other great people. I took my book Rodeo Time to read to Mrs. Castle's 3rd grade class. I also took my veterinary books, my Prorodeo Sports News Magazine, a PRCA Rule Book, and the PRCA Media Guide so that I could show the kids how important reading is for my job as Miss Rodeo Utah. After reading and answering questions about myself I went to the library to meet the Cat in the Hat and eat Birthday cake. Thank you Lincoln Elementary School for allowing me to participate and thanks to McKenzie, my student escort.
