ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ and Lewiston-Auburn colleges to sponsor Martin Luther King Jr. "read-in"
In celebration of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ College Center for Service-Learning and Lewiston-Auburn College will co-sponsor a “read-in” by faculty, staff and students for grades 2-6 at 9:15 a.m. and 1:15 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 20, at the Longley Elementary School on Birch Street in Lewiston. In case school is cancelled due to snow, the read-in will be held Wednesday, Jan. 27.
Readers from ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ and Lewiston-Auburn College will read in celebration of diversity in a community school, according to Kendra Aiello of the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Center for Service-Learning. Readers will read one-on-one to students for approximately 30 minutes and then distribute the books, each with a multicultural theme, to every child as memento of the day.
For more information about the event, please call Phyllis Graber Jensen at the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ College Office of Communications and Media Relations at 207-786-6330.
