Read (and Play!) Across America


It’s Here!  It’s Here!  
It’s Here!  You Hear?

It’s Read Across America Time of Year!

New Partners!  New Looks!  
Play Safely!  Read Books!




CEA is partnering with 
the Community Idea Stations (WCVE) 
and the Children’s Museum of Richmond (CMoR)  
to host a Day of Play and Reading

at CMoR’s Chesterfield location
6629 Lake Harbour Drive,
Midlothian, VA 23112
(Winterpock Crossing Shopping Center) 
on Saturday, March 2, 2013,
from 10:00am-4:00pm
with visits by the Cat in the Hat.

Come Read!  Come Play!
Come Make a Child’s Day!

CEA and WCVE are sponsoring a BOOK DRIVE for the Children’s Book Bank

In middle-income neighborhoods the ratio of books per child is 13 to 1; however, in low-income neighborhoods the ratio falls to a staggering
1 (age-appropriate) book for every 300 children.

Please Help!  Ask your colleagues, parents, students, friends, neighbors, everyone to donate a new or gently used children’s book.  It’s easy: just drop them in a box at your school library and bring them to CMoR when you come to read and play!  (If you can’t make it to CMoR, just get them to CEA and we’ll drop them off on your behalf.)
