Rotary Reads_PA Ag Literacy Week

The Youth Literacy Committee is organizing a volunteer opportunity for Rotarians to help celebrate Pennsylvania Ag Literacy Week which focuses on connecting volunteers from the community to local classrooms.

Volunteers will visit K-2nd grade classes in York City School District elementary schools and read “Cows Can MOO! Can You? All About FARMS with Dr. Seuss” a book with an accurate and engaging theme about agriculture.

After the book is read volunteers will engage further with students with an easy-to-lead classroom activity that re-enforces the concepts they learned from the book.

The book is then donated to the classroom teacher along with educational activities and resources to use throughout the school year.

The project provides an opportunity to promote our mission of improving literacy in our community, which is the keystone for success in life and leads to better job opportunities and personal achievement.
