Spring Break
URI Greeks bring 'Cat in the Hat,' Kingston pre-K students read, color

At the tables, the conversation among the First Step and URI students seemed carefree.
"Can you guess how old I am?" Sigma Kappa member, Val Shapiro, said to the group. A boy to her right, after much deliberation, held up five fingers. After he had run out of fingers to count on, her age, 19, was revealed, much to the shock of the students.
The children and URI volunteers discussed much more besides their age differences. They debated whether or not the Grinch was "scary," talked about their siblings and families and shared opinions on their favorite Dr. Seuss books and the "Horton Hears a Who" movie. After the projects were completed, the children took to stacking the Crayola markers into towers, while the taller SigEp volunteers helped steady their creations.
"This is all I ever did in pre-school," joked SigEp member John Collins, as he watched the children rebuild after the tower toppled.
"We're happy to have volunteers come in, the kids love it," Cassi Braga, the pre-K instructor, said. "And we're studying Dr. Seuss next week, so this was perfect."
For the two Greek houses, pairing up seemed natural.
"Dr. Seuess was a SigEp, and he married a Sigma Kappa, so that's why we decided to team up," freshman Jen Debruno, the philanthropy chair for Sigma Kappa, said. This celebration is in its second year, but Friday marked the first time the groups traveled to the pre-school.
"Last year we did it at the [campus] library, but only a few kids came," Elliot said. Sigma Kappa and SigEp Epsilon decided to travel to where the kids already were, and they considered this year's efforts to be a success.
"We'll definitely be doing it again. I think it went really well, the kids are so energetic and cute," Debruno said.

This was a great thing to do - Dr. Seuss is classic children's literature.
