Read Muskegon’s Holiday Village was a huge success. This year’s event was held at Covenant Community Church. Over 100 of our neighbors participated in 10 village stations that were designed to help build early literacy skills. Santa made sure each child got a stack of books to bring home along with the ornaments and cookies they decorated. Thanks to our friends at Read Early Read Often for donating the beautiful books!
While Read Muskegon has been running programs from our new space at 26 E. Broadway since June, 2017, we marked the official opening of our new Family Literacy Center with a ribbon cutting ceremony in October. Muskegon Heights Mayor, Kim Sims, and MAISD Superintendent, John Severson, spoke about the importance of our partnerships before the Muskegon Lakeshore Chamber of Commerce helped officiate the ribbon cutting. We were thrilled to have so many members of our community join in our celebration.
