Did you know that children who are read to often have improved language and listening skills, develop strong social/emotional skills, and have stronger imagination skills? Our Early Childhood Education students are helping our Little Dragons foster a love of reading. Would like to help? We welcome any donations to our eWallet for Scholastic Books! We will be hosting a book fair 4/18-21. Join us for Books & Bellies with our Culinary lunch program on 4/18 in the Holman Center! Enjoy a great meal and find some amazing books!
