NOVEMBER 10TH READING CLUBS: COLLEGE SPIRIT DAY!
Join Reading to Kids for our "College Spirit Day" reading clubs on Saturday, November 10th. All volunteers are encouraged to wear their favorite school's gear. The school represented by the most volunteers will be crowned the grand champion of the 2007 Reading to Kids college face-off and earn bragging rights for the year. But most importantly, the kids will see the volunteers' school pride and the value of a college education.
For most of the kids who attend the reading clubs, if they go to college, they will be the first in their families to do so. According to teachers and administrators at our partner schools, kids who begin thinking about college early are more likely to end up there. Exposure to college students and alumni is a great way to get kids thinking about their academic futures, so show your school pride and make a positive impact that will last a lifetime!
