Dear Friends of Reading to Kids,

Please join us in thanking the wonderfully talented and generous musicians who performed for the kids on Saturday! Click on the photo below to see a few of them playing at different schools!

WE'RE EXPANDING TO AN 8TH SCHOOL!

We are very happy to announce that at our April 9th reading clubs we will begin reading at MacArthur Park Elementary!

Please help inspire students at MacArthur Park with a love of reading by signing up to volunteer for this momentous occasion! This is your chance to be at a first reading club at one of our schools!

Specifically, we are looking for Site Coordinators, Training Coordinators, GLCs, a Bagel Runner and/or Food Runner, and experienced volunteers to start at MacArthur Park. If you are interested in getting more involved, please contact us at info@readingtokids.org.

We will also need two toasters for bagels and a coffee pot that can brew at least 20 cups of coffee at a time. If you can donate any of those, please let us know!

We are also looking for more Site Coordinators at our other schools, too! If you want to step into this important role, please contact us at info@readingtokids.org.
