Grab a Hat – Read With the Cat!

“Grab a Hat and Read With The Cat” is the theme for AEA’s 2010 Read Across Alabama. The Cat and President Gibson will be making stops all across Alabama as they go on the Cat-A-Van Tour.
Each school system is invited to join President Gibson, Dr. Hubbert, Dr. Reed, legislators, and AEA staff for AEA’s Celebration of Reading event Tuesday, March 2, on the south lawn of the capital.
