Dear Friends of Reading to Kids,

August is right around the corner, and on August 12th we're celebrating creativity at our Arts & Entertainment reading clubs!

All volunteer spots are currently full, but please continue to check our website for openings. If you are signed up but know you can't join us, cancel your RSVP so that someone else may take your place!

We are particularly in need of volunteers to be Grade Level Coordinators and to lead New and Returning Volunteer Trainings that morning. Please e-mail info@readingtokids.org if you'd like to step into any of these important roles.

BE A READING TO KIDS AMBASSADOR

Hi, Reading to Kids!

With the 2017-18 school year beginning soon, we will have many opportunities for you to help us promote Reading to Kids at our partner schools 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, parents, and teachers.

If you are interested in being an Ambassador, please reply to this e-mail or call (310) 479-7455.

WANTED: SITE COORDINATORS, VOLUNTEER RELATIONS CO-CHAIR

Veteran volunteers help out with logistics

Help! We need a second or third Site Coordinator at a few of our schools!

Want to play an integral role at our monthly reading clubs? If you have volunteered with us a few times and can take on this important role, please email us at info@readingtokids.org or call us at 310 479-7455 about becoming one of our Site Coordinators.

You can also deepen your involvement with Reading to Kids by joining our Taskforce! Our Volunteer Relations Committee chairperson, Kori Wilson, is looking for a co-chair who is active on social media to help him plan fun events for our volunteers!

We're looking for seven more full marathon runners and three Stadium vs. The Sea Charity Challenge runners (approx. 13 mile course) to join us in one of the best marathons in the country. You can share this Facebook group with any of your runner friends to encourage them to join our team!

Runners can run either the full marathon or the Stadium vs. The Sea Charity Challenge, and the dollars raised will go to support our monthly reading clubs.

If you or a runner you know is interested in becoming one of our fundraising runners or creating a fundraising team, please email Chris Martin at marathon@readingtokids.org!

IMPORTANT NOTE: To register to run on behalf of Reading to Kids, you MUST receive from us a special web address to use when registering on the Skechers Performance Los Angeles Marathon website.
