On June 14th, 2014 the James R Jordan Foundation and it's partners will hold the 4th Annual "Read with Me" Festival at Touhy Herbert Park. The "Read with Me Festival" will is (JRJF's) way of kicking off making summer reading exciting for participants of all ages. The Read with Me! Festival is a safe space for our underserved families to enjoy and celebrate together, and as a community. This year we will feature literary workshops from arts & crafts book making booths, an interactive photo booth with props, food & ice cream for all and of course an opportunity to take home some summer reading books made possible by our partner at Bernie's Book Banks. Throughout the festival families are invited to musical performances, story-tellers, and hands-on workshops, all of which promote literacy and nurture positive family interactions. |
