_______________________________________________Hello everyone,
I wanted to pick your collective brain in regards to what others may have done during family literacy events. We are thinking of having one (not sure how long it will be), but wanted to see what some of your ideas are or what you may have done with these events in the past that have been successful. Thanks so much for any ideas/suggestions you send my way!
Respectfully,
