Boston Mayor Reads Dr. Seuss to Children at YMCA Summer Program

Uncategorized 2026-07-22 clip6241 · Meeting of July 22, 2026

Boston Mayor Marty visited a Greater Boston YMCA summer program July 22, reading Dr. Seuss's "The Foot Book" to a group of young children in an informal session captured on Boston's community access TV. The mayor led the children through a birthday survey, a read-aloud, and a question-and-answer discussion of the book's content before introducing Boston Public Schools Superintendent Dr.

Brenda Casillas — whom he described as "the boss of all the schools in Boston" — and the unnamed chief executive of the Greater Boston YMCA. No formal votes or policy announcements were made. The session closed with a group photograph in which the mayor, scrapping the traditional cheer, counted the children down to shout "feet, feet, feet."
