GFWC of NC Statesville Woman's Club Read Across America Project

Last Updated 3/31/2022Posted in General Blog, News


For the twelfth year the General Federation of Women’s Club of North Carolina (GFWC of NC) Statesville Woman’s Club worked on a Read Across America project in honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday. For a decade the club held a Read Across America celebration partnering with Cloverleaf Elementary School under the co-leadership of club members Kim Mulrey and Barb Thorson. The event included local community leaders, volunteers and club members as readers. The tenth year celebration culminated with an assembly featuring Sir Purr, mascot, of the Carolina Panthers football team. Due to Covid-19 the last two years club members prepared literacy kits for Iredell-Statesville Schools students.

This year members put together literacy kits for 27 kindergarten - second graders in Iredell-Statesville Schools Virtual Academy. Each kit contained a hardback copy of Dr. Seuss’ One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, school supplies, bookmarker and numerous educational activity sheets. Iredell-Statesville Schools Superintendent Dr. Jeff James read the book to the students via Facebook Live. In spite of Covid-19, a few club members were able to read to local school children in person.
