School is out and it's time for HUNGER HEROES and FEEDING WITH READING at Storytime Park Day at Cloverdale Park!
There will be a special Storytime Park Day on Thursday, June 22 called "Hunger Heroes: A Food Drive Play Date." Children are invited to bring food donations for the Food Pantry at All Saints' Church, and in turn, each child will receive a plastic hero cape to signify their good deed, receive a "Today I helped end childhood hunger!" sticker, and draw pictures on paper plates to be given out with the food donations.
Additionally over the summer, we will host a “Feeding with Reading’ at Storytime Park Day! For each child that wants to participate, they can ask sponsors (parents, family, neighbors, friends, etc) to donate one nonperishable food item per book they read over the summer. Kids will receive a certificate each time they bring in their food raised, and they will actively be playing a role in fighting hunger in Dale City AND our kids will be encouraged to read some great books!
Storytime Park Day meets every Thursday at Cloverdale Park at 10 a.m. Contact Tara with any questions, or if you would like to read a story to the children, assist Tara with craft activities, distribute snacks, or make new friends at the Park!
