Dear Friends of Reading to Kids,
What a morning! Last Saturday we had 286 kids, 190 volunteers,
61 parents, and 17 teachers & staff
enjoy books, crafts, and music at our March 14th reading clubs!
We enthusiastically thank and appreciate all of the generous and entertaining musicians who performed for the volunteers and kids on Saturday!
