H.A. Brown Details

We are scheduled for our Read Across America Event (better late than never right?!) for Friday, April 23 at 12pm.  We will be reading to Kindergarten and First graders.

Preferably, we will have a few different readers to divide the students up and keep them interested with smaller groups and if possible, move them (or us) around to give the students the chance to hear different books by different readers.

Details will be solidified at our April 21st meeting (among other things), so be sure to be there and bring books and monetary donations!!

Any questions, email our President, Jaime

A date is set for our visit to H.A. Brown!!

Finally, we have a date for our Read Accross America event! 

We will visit H.A. Brown Elementary School on April 23rd, time will be posted once confirmed-but obviously it will be during school hours for the students.  Mark your calendar!!

Keep collecting those books and if someone wants to write a check, tell them to make it out to Hearts of America and leave the subject line blank!! 

For every $1.50 Hearts of America will donate a new book to H.A. Brown on our behalf!  If you have checks to give Jaime, contact her to set up a time to meet.

Our next meeting is April 21st so bring the books to that meeting if you won't be able to attend our trip to H.A. Brown to deliver them.
