Dr. Dobson greeted students on International Dot Day with sticker dots.
Author and illustrator, Peter H. Reynolds, released his book, The Dot, on September 15, 2003. The book tells the story of "Vashti," a student who felt like she couldn't draw. Her teachers told her to just make a mark and see where it takes her. So, Vashti made a dot on her paper and was surprised to see her paper with the dot handing on the wall the next day. This gave Vashti the confidence to explore her creativity and individuality. This story inspired Dot Day.
Millions of children and adults have been inspired by "The Dot." International Dot Day is celebrated every year on September 15 and is currently celebrated in 192 countries by more than 19 million people!
For Dot Day, teachers integrated the book into morning meetings, and staff, teachers, and students around the school wore clothing with dots.
