A free screening of Dr Seuss’s The Lorax will be held in Onewhero tomorrow, October 12.
The screening is sponsored by the Dave Young Science Trust, established in 2023 following the death of science teacher Dave Young during the Auckland Anniversary Floods. His family decided to start a trust in his honour.
Young was a science teacher at Pukekohe High School, and every year, one pupil is awarded a scholarship to help further their studies.
The screening is free for children under the age of 16, provided they are accompanied by an adult, with $5 for children over the age of 16.
Spot prizes can be won on the day. The screening will take place on Sunday, October 12,from 1.30pm to 3.30pm at the OSPA Theatre in Onewhero.
The Lorax follows the character of Ted, who lives in the town of Thneedville, in a world that has chopped down all its trees and flowers and completely turned away from nature.
After falling in love with a beautiful girl, named Audrey, who wishes to see a real tree, he searches for the man called the Once-ler, who tells him a story about the mythical Lorax and how Thneedville lost all its trees.
All proceeds go towards the Dave Young Science Trust.
