March has been filled with educational activities and events for Kern County students and employees who work for the Kern County Superintendent of Schools (KCSOS). Dr. Seuss was on the lips of hundreds of younger students in the county, as they sat in on Read Across America activities, honoring the legendary writer of children’s books with literacy activities throughout the week of March 1-8. KernCorps AmeriCorps Program members, who tutor young children as part of a year in service to their community, had celebrity readers, crafts and many other fun activities for children in Bakersfield, Lamont, and Shafter during the week. Students in KCSOS special needs classes at Centennial Elementary had Kern County Superintendent of Schools Larry E. Reider stop by to read and many other county office employees also read to children at the Claude W. Richardson Child Development Center in Bakersfield. Kern Kiwanians could not have asked for better weather for their annual Take A Kid Fishing Day at Bakersfield’s Hart Park on March 4. Each year the Kern Kiwanis Club, East Bakersfield High Junior Kiwanis Club and the Kern County Parks and Recreation Department, cordon off a small portion of the large pond at the park so that special needs students, attending classes operated by the Kern County Superintendent of Schools, can experience the joys of fishing.
