Assemblyman David DiPietro (R,C-East Aurora) visited with students from Colden Elementary to participate in “Read Across America” and celebrate Dr. Seuss’s birthday. Read Across America is a program inspired by Dr. Seuss that uses the stories of the children’s author to inspire a love of reading in young students.

“One of the perks of being a legislator is taking part in events like this. I love coming into classrooms and trying to inspire children to read. The kids love Dr. Seuss, and I think this program does a lot of good to inspire that passion for reading in the next generation,” DiPietro said.
