Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association celebrates Dr. Seuss at Bushwick elementary school
Justice Joanne D. Quinones and members of the Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association (BWBA) went to P.S. 274 in Bushwick on Monday to take part in Read Across America with a group of 75 first-graders and kindergarteners.
This was the 20th year for Read Across America and the fourth year that the BWBA participated in the event. Every year the group goes to P.S. 274, Quinones’ former elementary school, and reads to first-graders. This year the program was expanded as the BWBA group was larger than ever and 75 students participated.
“It has become a big event at the school,” Quinones said. “It’s something that even the kindergarteners know about and a lot of them look forward to getting to first grade because they know that they will be a part of this event.”
