Schools marked the day with activities and dressing the part.

For the past 15 years, Miss Delp’s kindergartners and Mrs. Davis’s second graders have gotten together on Friday afternoons for book buddy time. For 20-25 minutes each visit, second graders read their weekly story and a library book or two to their kindergarten friends. Most students are in pairs, but due to classroom size differences, there’s always a group of three here or there. In the fall and spring, these classes go outside to read (and visit a bit, too). During the colder months, the classes take turns hosting each other in their classrooms.
