Tom Seggelke, education director at Sylvan Learning Center in Springfield (and a regular substitute teacher in this area), helped students at New Holland-Middletown celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday Friday.

Dressed in his red and white hat, Seggelke read a story to the students, brought gift bags for students and teachers, and donated a book to the library.

McDonald's in Lincoln generously donated to gift bags for NH-M and Lincoln students.

The Berg Corp., which operates all the Sylvan Learning Centers in this area, planned to read to nearly 1,700 children at events Friday.
