LITERACY FAIR 2011!

The Satanta United Methodist Church will host a literacy fair on Thursday, February 17 at 6:00 p.m. in the church’s fellowship hall for children birth through sixth grade. The event, meant to make young readers “Fall in Love with Books,” will begin with a meal at 6:00 p.m. Hot dogs, chips, and drinks will be served. At 6:30, the adults in attendance will be invited to the sanctuary to hear a literacy expert speak on the importance of reading to children while the young readers in attendance are treated to crafts and storytelling in the fellowship hall. The event will culminate with a book distribution during which children in attendance will be invited to shop for new and gently used books to add to their personal libraries. These books will be taken home in green and gold “Satanta Indian” drawstring backpacks, which will contain a surprise or two of their own. The event (including the food, the crafts, the books, and the backpacks) is free of charge, something made possible by a generous donation made by the late Sharon Kisker to the SUMC’s 21^st Time Class.
