(KLZA)-- The Peru Student Education Association (PSEA) hosted the Dr. Seuss Birthday Bash on February 9th and 10th on the Peru State Campus. The event was attended by area preschool and elementary students from Auburn, Johnson-Brock, Johnson County Central, Nebraska City Lourdes, HTRS, Falls City, St. Andrew Catholic School, Sterling, Tarkio, Little Learners Pre-K, and the Peru State Day Care. Several members of the community also attended.

The 2023 Dr. Seuss festivities were held in the Performing Arts Center on the Peru State College campus. The pre-show events included a sing-along, bubble machines, and massive beach balls flying across the auditorium. Attendees were then captivated by a series of three plays; Horton Hatches an Egg, The Cat in the Hat, and Green Eggs and Ham. Green Eggs and Ham featured special guest appearances from Dean of School of Arts and Science - Dr. Paul Hinrichs, and Interim Executive Director - Mr. Ted L. Harshbarger, who both got several laughs from the audience. As the shows concluded, the audience read the Reader- Oath, swearing to read each day. Helping read the oath, along with the cast, were Peru State College President Dr. Michael Evans and First Lady Joanna Evans.

The Peru Student Education Association, an organization for all education majors at Peru State College. PSEA hosts many events throughout the year. The Dr. Seuss event alone has brought up to 1,000 visitors to campus
