Rose Marie Bryan’s Children Center UpdateVolusia County Reading Council has chosen the Rose Marie Bryan Children’s Center at 625 South Street Daytona Beach, just down the street from Turie T. Small Elementary, as our annual Literacy Project. This is a grant funded facility that provides after school care for kindergarten through middle school students. Their focus is on helping children improve academically. The Children’s Center is run by two sisters who attended as young children, one is a teacher. It’s located in a former home that has been renovated to serve children. One of their biggest needs is a reading space. We plan to redo a bedroom into a bright, cheerful, comfortable reading room. The walls will be painted yellow with primary colors for window valences, rug and accents.
We would welcome help in any form – money – a check can be made out to VCRC with literacy project noted at the bottom (it’s all tax deductible), listed items, volunteer hours. Below is a list of items we still need to have purchased or donated by our work day, Saturday, February 19th at 9 a.m. 1 interior door, 30 inches wide, preferably white (Lowe’s or Home Depot may donate if asked) 2-4 poster sized frames (Michael’s, Target, Wal-Mart) 3 tensions rods for curtains 1-36”, 1-52” and 1-60” wide Lamps for soft lighting Inexpensive tape players/earphones for books on tape Posters about Reading Books, children’s magazines, books on tape Stuffing for pillows Beanbag chairs Bright colored cubes for seating from Wal-Mart Someone who would like to help stitch up the pillows and valences If you would like any further information please call.
