Inspiring a love of literacy beyond the classroom! 📚💙
Literacy Night at Fultondale Elementary School was a blast, with families exploring reading resources, hearing from educators, and even receiving free books and arts integration supplies from ArtsNOW! 🎨✨
Families were thrilled to receive their ArtsNOW bags, which not only encourage reading at home, but also provide loved ones with ways to engage with their readers and promote creativity! This is just one of many ways ArtsNOW is making a difference at Fultondale Elementary School, and we are delighted to see the joy and excitement this partnership is generating!
