Dear Friends of Reading to Kids,

The February Reading Clubs may be full, but there are still plenty of ways to stay involved with Reading to Kids! Read on to find out about other volunteer opportunities and our fun upcoming events in February.

If you're still hoping to RSVP for the February 13th Reading Clubs, please continue to check our website for openings due to cancellations. Have you signed up for the reading clubs and recently found out you won't be able to attend? Please be sure to cancel online to open up your spot for someone else.

CLASSROOM HELPERS NEEDED

Each month, Reading to Kids works to reward those teachers at our partner schools that recruit the most students to the reading clubs by providing them with a classroom helper. Classroom helpers spend time in the classroom assisting the teacher with anything from reading to the class, to grading papers, to decorating the room, and much more!

Sound like fun? For more information about being a classroom helper, please click here. To volunteer, please email Rachel.Zwass @ readingtokids.org.
