While the spring sports season kicks into gear this week, last week Lowell's baseball team continued their tradition of reading to Lowell elementary students in honor of March's Reading Month which has been going on for over a decade.

The holiday month, in honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday, is named as such to motivate people of all ages to read every day. 

Last Wednesday, the team headed out to Alto Elementary where they chose some of their favorite childhood books to read to the elementary schoolers. In the past, the program has visited some of Lowell's other elementary schools as well.

"Thank you for fostering a love of reading and community engagement among our students. Your support and enthusiasm for this initiative means a lot to us." the program said in a statement to Alto Elementary Staff.

For those school classrooms who weren't able to have a baseball player join them live, the program posted a YouTube video of senior Sam Albert reading "Arthur Goes to Camp" on their Facebook page.
