As I See It - 03.02.16 - Read Aloud

Remember when I mentioned this? Well today was the day to wear it! It was Dr. Seuss's birthday.

Walnut Bend Elementary School was the host for the press conference for Read Aloud Month. Neal Bush, son of Barbara and President George Bush was there so it was cool to meet him. His mother was in the school reading to students but we didn't get to meet her.

Also, at several Legacy sites volunteers and staff took time out of the day to read to some of pediatric clients. Thank you to everyone who participated.

As I See It - 02.03.16 - Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation

Good people doing good things for others intersected when a check was presented to Legacy Community Health from Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation to support the Little Readers program. Without the support of some many people, we wouldn't be able to put books in the hands of kids who don't have access to books.

It wasn't until we started this program, that I was made aware of the fact that in under-served communities, there is only 1 book for every 300 children. When you think about it...if you have to choose between putting food on the table or buying a book, food will always win out.

I attended a meeting at Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation. We (Legacy) are working with them to help us get volunteers for our Little Readers Programs. They're doing good work at the Foundation but I was really intrigued with the art work.
