Breakfast Bookworm:
This is a children’s literacy promotion program taking place once per month in four Henderson elementary schools. All students who wish to participate must bring an adult to participate with them, and may also bring siblings. The children are served a nutritious, light breakfast and a volunteer reads the ‘book of the month.’ Each family is provided a new copy of the book and each child who attends may then select a book of their choice to take home. The families are asked to commit to read together for 15 minutes each day. For more information about this program, please contact Courtney Broadbent .
