OC Girl Scouts visit CLP to promote literacy

On October 7th, some motivated local girls visited the Center for Living Peace to kick off their new year in service as Girl Scouts, and to participate in Jumpstart’s annual Read for the Record.  Volunteers from UCI’s Jumpstart club read the official story, The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats, and helped the girls with craft activities related to the story.

Interdependent with children around the country, these readers were counted in the national drive to build literacy that each year engages millions of children in reading.

Good Happens.

Peace Grl Out.

Setting Records in Reading

Each year Jumpstart coordinates with schools and learning centers across the country to promote literacy.  The Center for Living Peace is proud offer our own reading of this year’s official Read-for-the-Record story, The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats, as well as activities based on this great book.

Join us tomorrow 3:30-5:30 to read this book and for some great craft activities based on the story.

The first 20 children to attend receive a free copy of the book, The Snowy Day.

If you read the book online NOW, another copy of the book will be donated to a preschool for the event!

Good Happens.

Peace Grl Out.
