Nikki Milevsky, a school psychologist and SCTA president, read “Horton Hatches an Egg,” a beloved Dr. Seuss book, to kindergarteners and first graders in Ms. Lauri Kojima-Black’s class at Tahoe Elementary in the Sacramento City Unified School District.

SCTA First Vice President David Fisher read “Click, Clack, Moo, Cows that Type” to second and third-graders in Mrs. Ann Sullivan’s class at the school.

“’My egg,!’ shouted Horton. My egg! Why it’s hatching,’” reads SCTA President Milevsky, recounting an epic moment in the fictional elephant’s career.

CTA is following up on the annual event by making reading an everyday activity through its California Reads program.
