AFTRA Members -- Help Celebrate the Joy of Reading with Los Angeles Students, Be a Part of Read Across America 2010, Tuesday, March 2
For more than 70 years AFTRA members have celebrated the written word, bringing to life the characters and stories from books we love to read. AFTRA is pleased to join the California Teachers Association in continuing that tradition by celebrating with Los Angeles students the joy and importance of reading as part of CTA/NEA's Read Across America 2010 on Tuesday, March 2. The theme for Read Across America 2010 is “Serve Up a Good Book!” featuring characters created by award-winning illustrator Will Terry.
CTA is looking for AFTRA members who would be willing to share their talents and visit an LAUSD school as a guest reader. Volunteers will be assigned to a local school to read to students, either in a classroom setting or as part of a larger program. The total time commitment is just a few hours that day. It's a fun, rewarding experience, and we hope that you will join us and be a part of Read Across America 2010!
To volunteer please e-mail laeventrsvp@aftra.com. Please include your name, contact information, and availability on March 2.
