Thank you Amazom.com for donating $5000 to the Volunteer Reader Program (VRP) to help us connect with parents and engage them in reading and telling stories with their young children! The donation is being used to purchase books for a few of our VRP sites: Sherwood Forest Head Start in Federal Way, Olympic Hills Head Start in North Seattle, and Renton Head Start.  Books are going home with families as gifts to build home libraries and encourage more reading at home. Volunteer Reader Susan Alcala and VRP Coordinator Danielle Holing were at a recent Sherwood Forest parent meeting, distributing books, sharing stories, and talking with parents.

Stay tuned for news about our next two visits.
