Sharing is Caring

On December 12 and 14, Readers to Leaders (R2L) and First Five joined with other community organizations and participated in a collaborative effort known as Sharing is Caring.  At Sharing is Caring, families who have earned credits by participating in parenting and enrichment classes have the opportunity to shop for gifts for their children at a store created by various charity organizations.  While waiting to shop, parents had the chance to explore booths represented by local organizations such as the Northwest Georgia Regional Library, WIC, and SNAP. R2L and First Five provided families with books, a crayon, a bracelet, a sticker, a bookmark with tips for reading to children at home, and various other informational materials to promote literacy. Pictured below are R2L representatives with booth materials, and a mother and daughter at the event.
