Literacy Contest
A traveling trophy will be awarded at the next National Convention to the province with
the greatest numbers in the following categories.
- Save Betty Crocker and Campbell labels for education. For information on
brand labels to save check out these websites:
Not all schools are interested in receiving these labels and box tops because
they don't have the personnel to organize and submit them to the company, so
be sure and check first with the school.
- Volunteer time in schools, library, or other facilities with literacy activities.
- Donate money and supplies to literacy projects.
- Tutor children and adults.
- Help with fund raising for literacy projects and activities.
- Plan educational programs in your chapters, emphasizing literacy.
The National Literacy Committee has thought of many ways for chapters to promote
Literacy. If you have questions, please contact your province representative. Here
are their suggestions:
- Save labels and box tops for education.
- Participate in "Reads Programs" in your schools, and day care facilities.
- Stress members read to their children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or any
other children with whom they spend time.
- "Read a Book and Pass it on" Make a contest of it, award points for each book
read by chapter members, and total for Province numbers.
- Borrow books from your local library, and since some members may have a
problem with poor sight, remember talking books are wonderful.
- Include information about local (state or city) authors who have become famous
and are listed in the National Educational outline.
- Form alliances with Head Start programs in your city, and with your library
where you could volunteer to read to children, and adults.
- Volunteer to read at day care, for children and adults.
- Help with designing and implementing a lending library for Head Start programs.
- Chapters can organize local book clubs through the local library.
- Use chapter funds to sponsor reading and writing classes for adults in your
community.
- Host an annual reading fair in your community.
- Tutor and/or mentor children in their homes or schools.
