Hello Friends,
We are just two months away from our Sixth Annual Clarkston Tell Me a Story! Festival, Saturday, May 12, 2 to 5 p.m. On this day, the Clarkston Community Center is alive with stories, children’s health and literacy activities, puppet making, Cat in the Hat, and more. Tell Me a Story! engages more that 300 children and adults each year. You don’t want to miss it!
Whether you are a returning partner or a new friend, there are many ways that you can participate as we highlight children’s stories from all over the world. This family-friendly event promotes the importance of talking, singing, and reading to children starting at birth.
We invite you to be a “Funding Friend” with a contribution of $10 to $199. See the chart below for the other ways you can donate and participate.
This year’s theme is Eat. Move. Talk!, a collaboration with the Georgia Department of Public Health and the Governors Office for Student Accountability (GOSA). If your work includes a focus on physical well-being or healthy eating, you are also invited to host an activity table as a Literacy Partner.
For additional information or questions, contact our Festival Coordinator Ellen Gadberry at 404-414-2080 ellengadberry@gmail.com
