Georgia first lady Sandra Deal told Big Creek Elementary students about the crazy antics of “The Cat in the Hat” on Wednesday morning in celebration of Dr. Seuss’s birthday.“The kids are very excited to meet anybody in the community,” said Kris Cable, the school’s media specialist. “They know we have a new governor, we talk about it at school, and the teachers, parents and kids just think it’s so exciting to have somebody come out and share how much they love reading with our kids.”After reading to two classrooms, Deal met with the school’s principal, Sherri Black. “I’m glad you’re celebrating reading,” said Deal, a retired teacher.
