7:00 to 7:30 PM – Pizza & Drinks
“As an educator with a deep passion for teaching literacy, I am thrilled to host this event for a third year in a row,” stated Morgan Dugan, Assistant Professor of Early Childhood Education. “At our gathering, we will explore the transformative power of literacy and how it can be applied to real-life experiences. I am excited to share how my students are not only learning in the classroom but also applying their newfound knowledge to make a tangible impact in their lives and communities.”
All parents or guardians must attend the event with their child.
Children’s Literacy Night is sponsored by the Penn Highlands Community College Caring for Cubs Education Club, Keystone State Literacy Association (KSLA), YMCA, Beginnings, Inc., Cambria County Library, United Way of Southern Alleghenies, Junior Achievement, and The Learning Lamp.
