Alta Elementary School celebrated "Read Across America" on March 2, with appearances by guest read- ers. Schools and other sites nationwide hold the event on or around the March 2 birthday of beloved children's author Dr. Seuss, whose famous books include "The Cat in the Hat" and "Horton Hears a Who!"

Alta Elementary also had other activities, such as a "The Cat in the Hat" art contest that coincided with the campus' Read-In. Students also were encouraged to bring gently used books for the school's Alta Book Exchange. Students then received a coupon for a book to be exchanged on Read-In day.

details disturbing ethical is- sues that arose from remov- ing Lacks’ cells without her knowledge.
The program will begin at 7 p.m. in the Reedley Col- lege cafeteria. (Speaker Series programs usually are held in Forum Hall, but organizers are anticipating a larger audi- ence.)
“‘The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks’ speaks to the issues of race and class in the context of scientific research and health care, and makes
an eloquent case for the sig- nificance of each human life,” said David Borofka, a Reed- ley College English instructor who helps organize the Speak- er Series.
The series usually invites writers – a number of whom have been highly acclaimed writers, such as Carol Joyce Oates, Jane Smiley and T.C. Boyle.
But, for this appearance, members of the Lacks family will be the speakers.
Borofka said they are ex- cited to welcome her grand- son David Lacks Jr. and great-granddaughter Victoria Baptiste.
(They also will be ap- pearing that afternoon at the Madera Community College Center.)
The book was adapted into a 2017 HBO movie star- ring Oprah Winfrey as Lacks’ daughter, Deborah Lacks; Rose Byrne as author Skloot; and Renée Elise Goldsberry as Henrietta.
The Speaker Series events typically include a question- and-answer session and book signing.
The suggested donation is $5 for the general public and $2 for students. (The ad- mission price helps cover the costs of speakers’ fees.)
