Program Spotlight-Literacy Week
Wild Plum Center Students, Families, and Teachers celebrated literacy for an entire week, but the learning doesn't stop there!
Each year, Literacy Week allows us to reiterate the importance of reading and inspires our students and families to make reading a part of their daily routines. This year included activities around some of our favorite books, guest readers, and even some visits from our local heroes. It was such a treat to be visited by Mayor Joan Peck! She and her wonderful translator, Jenny, read aloud some books that the students picked out and played some games with the kids.
Thanks to our wonderful donors, we are able to take Literacy Week outside of the classroom and into the homes of our families by providing every student in our programs with a literacy bag filled with goodies! The kids were thrilled to see some brand new books, a handcrafted bag to match their personality, a teddy bear, and resources for continued learning at home.
