Read for the Record, Get Wild on Oct. 24

Head Start annually participates in a global reading experience that promotes both early language and social-emotional development. This year, staff are organizing two events to coincide with Read for the Record.

Head Start will read Piper Chen Sings on Oct. 24, the same day as our Wild About Language and Literacy events.

Piper Chen Sings is an empowering story about a girl who turns her performance jitters into confidence when faced with singing a solo at her school concert. The story is inspired by the childhood experience of Grammy award-winning actress Phillipa Soo who originated the role of Eliza in Hamilton. Soo wrote the book along with Maris Pasquale Doran. Illustrations are by Qin Leng.

The Wild About events will be held at Griswold and Hopkins-Locke from 5 to 7 p.m. The events will feature food, door prizes and lots of language and literacy activities.

Families at other LCCAA Head Start centers can attend either event. Hopkins-Locke is located at 1050 Reid Ave., Lorain. Griswold is located at 631 Griswold Ave., Elyria. Contact your child’s teacher for more details.
