Join us for our Read Aloud Celebrating the Importance of Voting
November 1-5, 2024
Join us for a special Election Day Read Aloud, where we inspire young minds to understand the importance of voting! Designed for students in K-5, this interactive and engaging program will explore why voting is a cornerstone of democracy and how every citizen’s voice makes a difference.
Through captivating stories, our guest readers — including lawyers, judges, and community leaders — will highlight the power of choice, citizenship, and participation in shaping our country’s future. Students will learn about the electoral process in a fun, age-appropriate way, emphasizing the value of civic responsibility. The sessions will last 30 minutes and will include a question-and-answer session.
