Word must have
gotten out about our August 9th
"Arts and Entertainment" Reading Clubs because
they are already full!
If you are still interested in volunteering at the August Reading Clubs, please check back on our website for openings due to cancellations.
If you are signed up but know you can't join us after all, please
cancel so that someone else may take your place.
Our August Reading Clubs are extra special because
every child receives a movie poster, we give away
other fun prizes, and
one lucky student at each school wins a refurbished
computer!
With the beginning of the 2014-15 school year next month,
from now through Sept. 19th we'll have more than a dozen
opportunities to publicize Reading to Kids at our
partner schools. To do that, we need your help as a
Reading to Kids Ambassador.
There are
three different ways you can help out:
Kindergarten Orientations, Teacher
Breakfast Deliveries, and
Back-to-School-Nights.
We'll supply everything you need, including what to say at the
Kindergarten Orientations. Although it's great if you can speak
Spanish (even a little), all of our parent materials are
bilingual, and there's always someone who can translate for you
at the school.
These events set the course for the rest of the year and are
a wonderful way to interact with the kids and their parents, as
well as to honor the teachers. The more we publicize at
the beginning of the school year, the more children and families
we'll serve all year.
Please reply to this email or call the office if you want to
know more about being an Ambassador and the schedule of events.
