How many books can you read in an hour? Everybody Wins! Vermont, a children’s literacy and mentoring program, will hold its fourth annual Read-a-thon at the National Life Building in Montpelier on Saturday, January 24, from 1 - 3:30 p.m.
All are invited to participate in this family friendly event. Mentors in the Everybody Wins! Vermont mentoring program, their elementary grade “mentees” and their families, National Life employees, and members of the community will gather to read aloud books in celebration of National Mentoring Month and Thank Your Mentor Day! The group will strive to break last year’s record of 104 books read. The event will also feature entertainment from Marko the magician, an appearance by the Vermont Frostheaves very own Bump the Moose, and hidden "Golden Tickets", redeemable for prizes, in the books.
Teams and individuals are invited (but not required!) to collect pledges for their reading session, which National Life will match dollar for dollar! Contact Amy Cunningham at amy@ewvt.org or 802-229-2665.
