Dear Friends of Reading to Kids,

READ ACROSS AMERICA TOMORROW AT
LOS ANGELES ELEMENTARY

In celebration of Dr. Seuss's birthday, it is Read Across America Week! One of our
partner schools, Los Angeles Elementary, and another school
near the 110 at Slauson, Aspire Juanita Tate Academy, are holding events tomorrow, and
they need our help!
Interested in volunteering?

Los Angeles Elementary tomorrow, click either the above image on the left

Aspire Juanita Tate Academy Literacy Fair tomorrow, please email us at info@readingtokids.org. We'll then put you in contact with Anna Ramirez, their librarian.

Both schools can really use you, our experienced

CAN'T RUN 26 MILES?
THEN DONATE TO SUPPORT OUR
MARATHON RUNNERS!
HAND OUT WATER DURING THE RACE!
Please support
Team
Reading to Kids as they run the Skechers Performance Los Angeles Marathon on
March 18th!
So far they have raised $7,613 while training for hundreds of miles. They have just 18 more days to reach their $20,000 fundraising goal! If you can donate a buck a mile
to your favorite runner, you'll help fuel them towards the finish line!
With every mile they train and every dollar they raise, these valiant souls help you inspire kids with a love of reading.
HAND OUT WATER DURING THE RACE!
Help represent Reading to Kids during the marathon by handing out water to the runners! You get a free LA Marathon t-shirt, too, as explained at
their volunteer FAQ.
Our group will be at Water Station Mile 5 at Glendale Blvd., between Bellevue and Kent St. in Echo Park, on Sunday, March 18th from 5am - 11am.
Click this link to sign up. Our group is
Reading to Kids and our shift location should be
listed in green. Click the box to the green J05 Water Station Mile 5 shift, complete the form, and submit!
