It's time once again to get your very own Reading to Kids t-shirt!

We have a group order ending on March 30th, so please head over to our Order a T-Shirt link for all the details on how you can order your own shirt like the one shown above.

That Order a T-Shirt link is also available in the lower left-hand side of our website. The more t-shirts ordered by the 30th, the less expensive they will be!

APRIL 8TH READING CLUBS

Please sign up for the next reading clubs!

Click here to submit your RSVP for our "The Wonders of Science & Technology" clubs, then "join" the April 8th reading club event on Facebook and invite your friends!

These April 8th reading clubs will be much smaller because the schools will still be on their Spring break, so be sure to sign up early!

SCHOOL AMBASSADORS WANTED

Volunteers at Charles White Elementary

Because of Spring Break, during the week of March 27th we need experienced volunteers to be our ambassadors to visit any of our schools for an hour during the school day to encourage kids to come to the April 8th reading clubs. Email us at info@readingtokids.org if you can be an ambassador for an hour that week!
