Just when you thought it was safe to go outside, there's a very
good reason to stay indoors! On a weekly basis, the Sun Mart
Reading Van, sponsored by Sun Pacific Energy, is sharing the love
of reading with kids around the community. Through a partnership
with the Mid-Columbia Reading Foundation, volunteers are focused on
visiting daycare centers, preschools and in-home childcare centers
to lead story times and get kids excited about reading. The kids
receive a free book, and teachers or providers often receive
additional activity ideas to extend the story experience. If you
are interested in having the Sun Mart Reading Van visit your
child's preschool or care provider, or just want to volunteer some
time to read to children, contact the Reading Foundation at
222-7323.
