Chariton EA members as well as potential members hosted a birthday celebration for the Chariton community on Thursday, March 2nd at Van Allen Elementary School gym. Pictured (from left to right) are Chariton EA members Rebecca Karr, 5th grade Special Education; Kate Ortiz, Middle School Language Arts; and Cindy Bedford, 4th and 5th grade Homeroom and Science. The three teachers greeted families as they entered the school and guided them towards the 13 stations (similar to a school carnival) to begin their evening of fun!
I got to serve as one of the nine "Celebrity Readers" for the Chariton EA's Dr. Seuss Birthday Celebration.

Chariton Middle School Band instructor, Oscar Ortiz is pictured here with a group of children that were anxious to have some fun with reading! Oscar serves as the Chair of the ISEA Multicultural Committee and represents Multicultural membes on the ISEA Executive Board. Oscar is also past president of South Central UniServ Unit. Thanks for all you do as a leader on Team ISEA, Oscar!
One of the stations was the cake walk. The theme of the cake walk was from Dr. Seuss's book Green Eggs and Ham. Pictured here are mother-daughter team, Jenna Beatty (left) holding a spot of white almond bark and in the center a green M & M. To the side, you see the slice of "ham", a pretzel stick! All participants received the "green eggs and ham" and the winner earned a decorated cupcake like that Jenna's mother, Sue Rea (Chariton EA member and High School/Middle School Family Consumer Science teacher) is holding.
Within the 90 minute event, Chariton EA hosted 150 members of the school community to their first annual birthday celebration for Dr. Seuss. A huge thanks go out to Mrs. Jane Beatty, Chariton EA president/Elementary Vocal Music instructor. Jane said she was grateful for the dozens of volunteers that planned and help conduct the great event.
