Read for the Record Event
Date: October 24, 2024 | Time: 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm
This year, Jumpstart’s 19th Annual Read for the Record Day will be held October 24, 2024. Millions of people will come together that day to read Piper Chen Sings co-authored by award-winning actress and singer Phillipa Soo and Maris Pasquale Doran and illustrated by Qin Leng. Thousands of schools, libraries, and community organizations will celebrate early literacy by reading this empowering story of self-expression, overcoming self-doubt, and the ways family relationships can support us.
To support this annual occasion, Smart Start of Pender County will hold its own local literacy event on the same day, Thursday, October 24, 2024, from 3:00pm to 6:00pm, located at 610 N Timberly Lane, Burgaw, NC, 28425. Each child present from birth – 10 years old will receive “4” free books and depending on the child’s age may receive a copy of the Piper Chen Sings book. Other agencies will join in to share information from their respective organization.
Smart Start of Pender County invites you to attend this fun-filled educational event! To pledge to read Piper Chen Sings visit http://www.jstart.org/jumpstarts-read-for-the-record/ or give us a call at (910) 259-9978 for more information.
