Celebrate early literacy with us on Thursday, February 26 at 10 a.m. at Burns Road Playground as we take part in Jumpstart’s 20th Anniversary of Read for the Record — a nationwide effort to inspire a love of reading in young children.
This year’s featured book, See Marcus Grow by Marcus Bridgewater (also known as social media’s Garden Marcus), tells the heartwarming story of a young boy learning important life lessons in his grandmother’s garden. Through colorful illustrations and meaningful moments, the story highlights curiosity, care, and the space we all need to grow.
Families can enjoy a lively group storytime led by community leaders, along with fun activities and playground playtime. Bring your little readers and join us for a morning of stories, smiles, and outdoor fun!
