2013 Dublin Reading Event

Last week, Dublin Branch of CML, CML FOL, Dublin City Schools, Dublin A.M. Rotary, Dublin Foundation, Daniel Wright Elementary PTO, and Columbus Zoo partnered on a literacy event at Daniel Wright Elementary. Community leaders read aloud from the book, Zoo Borns, to match a natural history unit that the first graders were studying. After the reading, the Columbus Zoo brought out animals, including a fennec fox , a kangaroo, and a serval, bringing the lesson about animals to vivid life. All 112 first graders were given a copy of the book and a snack. Thanks to everyone in Rotary for their generosity! You're helping create life-long readers and giving a boost to the kids working towards Ohio's 3rd grade reading guarantee. It was wonderful day for all, including readers Rick Gerber, Marilee Chinnici-Zuercher, and Rita Hook!
