Thanks to the many organizations that made our first Literacy Fair on February 22nd at Killip Elementary School such an amazing success.
The fair brought together families, educators, and numerous community groups to foster a love for reading among young children.
Children enjoyed a morning of engaging literacy games and received free books, while parents participated in workshops designed to enhance youth reading skills. These workshops provided families with valuable tools and strategies to support literacy development at home.
The fair, made possible through a grant from Read On Arizona, is a vital part of United Way of Northern Arizona’s efforts to promote early childhood and youth development by fostering a culture of literacy.
Storytime sessions were a highlight of the fair, featuring Coco the Comet, Coconino Community College’s mascot, and a special visit from the Tooth Fairy.
