Each April, National Poetry Month gives folks the opportunity to celebrate the importance of poetry and the poets whose works actively enrich our lives. Poetry also presents a wondrous opportunity: the chance to build a bridge between reluctant readers and a love of books. (1/2)
But how can that bridge be poetry?

We were delighted to be invited to Family Literacy Night at Patrick Copeland Elementary School in Hopewell, VA. They celebrated reading "Charlotte's Web" together with food, games, face painting, a petting zoo, and more. It was a wonderful event. Thank you, Patrick Copeland ES!

Swansboro Elementary School is one of the many Virginia schools reading Charlotte's Web this month for #VAROB26! (1/3)
About the experience, they shared, "Just like the friendship between Wilbur and Charlotte, this experience reminds us how powerful reading and community can be. We look forward to many more joyful moments as the story unfolds."
Thank you reading and celebrating with us! (2/3)
With sincere gratitude to Chesapeake Bank, who sponsored the program at Swansboro, and Virginia Bankers Association for their generosity and support of children's literacy in Virginia schools!

That’s a wrap @readtothem on our 3 week One School One book of the Mouse and the Motorcycle. This classic didn’t disappoint and even my 5th grade panther family kiddos loved it. Big thanks to our principal @teach_katie for be willing to dive right in with us @madisond181

A special thank you to C&F Bank, who sponsored the program at North E.S., for their generosity and support.
Thanks to @CandFBank, each student has the opportunity to open a savings account at a local bank, and an initial $5 deposit to get them started on their financial journey.
