Feed n Read: Getting Summer Reading Ready

Stories and smiles and books, oh my!

Our last #FeednRead of the school year was a success and a chance for many students to get SUMMER READING READY!

As always, it takes a village and we could not do it without our great volunteers: teachers, principals, teens, families, community members, and more. Even one of my dear friends in town on vacation joined in the fun. We appreciate our local businesses Daylight Mind Coffee and Kiawe Smokehouse for the FOOD, and to Ulu Wini for letting us be a part of your community.

Check out the pictures of just a few of the kids building their book stacks. Thanks to all the books I was able to purchase from Scholastic Book Clubs (HOORAY $1 deals!), it was a chance for us to let the kids stock up for summer reading.

Full Tummies...Filled Minds!

If you follow me on social media (@MrsYuskoLibrary), you have seen ALL my posts over the past 16+ months about our #FeednRead literacy outreach events. We took a leap and started small in June 2017. It has grown into a monthly event, attended by 50-60 keiki, adults, and volunteers enjoying evenings of fun, friendship, books, and smiles! Today, our efforts made FRONT PAGE news of the local paper (read the entire article here. Make sure to scroll through all the photos they posted online...love all those smiling kiddos). Being a part of this is such a blessing for me, and for everyone involved. Thanks to everyone for your continued support! If you build it, they will come...
