We had an amazing time celebrating literacy with our students, families, and community partners at our Early Literacy Academy Kick-Off event! Families received resources about how to support their student's reading journey at home, and also had lots of fun with meeting book characters, participating in fun games and activities, eating dinner, and receiving free books and community resources. If you're interested in learning more, be sure to visit our Literacy Resources webpage: https://lnkd.in/eY-M6__U Many thanks to the many community partners who attended, including: Roanoke Sheriff's Office, Roanoke Police Department - VA, Roanoke Public Libraries, Roanoke City Council of PTAs/PTSAs, United Way of Roanoke Valley, United for ALICE, Office of Neighborhood Services - Roanoke VA, PLAY Roanoke, Carilion Clinic, and more. Thank you also to our Early Literacy and Community Engagement team for their hard work, and to all of our staff volunteers! Be sure to put September 12th on your calendar for our next event, and stay tuned for details!
