Q&A with famed children's book author/illustrator Eric Carle.
At Falkville Elementary School, they donât do RIF book distributionsâthey do RIF parties! A recent party came complete with a book selection, a lei for each child, Hawaiian music, and a tropical snack. Each child walked away with a handmade bookmark that read âAloha Reader.â RIF Coordinator Jalonda Smith, a 2009 RIF Volunteer of the Year, explained to the children that aloha is Hawaiian for both âhelloâ and âgoodbye.â The event was a big hello to RIF today and goodbye to the school year with the hopes that every child would read this summer.
Barbara, a 2009 RIF Volunteer of the year, coordinates the RIF program with the Delta Lambda chapter and leads 90 volunteers, many of whom are retired, back into the classroom three times a year for RIF. Group members pride themselves on making sure every classroom from kindergarten to grade 3 has a great book read aloud on distribution day. The excitement of these read-alouds was felt when a 2nd-grade class at Del Rey Woods Elementary didnât take their eyes off of the reader. Throughout the event, thank you notes and banners kept being delivered to Barbara, one even arriving on a silver tray with a red rose (the official flower of DKG).
RIF has reached a major milestone in the process to save RIF's funding. The House appropriations subcommittee and the Senate appropriations committee have included level funding for RIF amongst proposed allocations for fiscal year 2009. There are more critical milestones before Congress approves the final Fiscal Year 2009 budget. We thank you for your continued support and will keep you informed. For the latest updates, stay tuned to rif.org.
