Davis Early Childhood Center for Technology in Cayce, SC hosted a Literacy Fair on Saturday, March 5 from 10 a.m. – til – noon.  Children’s authors Melinda Long and Kevin Kurtz entertained students and parents alike.

Students from Congaree-Wood Early Childhood Center were also invited to this special event where they could participate in many events to promote reading, such as reading under the stars, solving a mystery with invisible messages, reading a recipe to make a snack, creating a memory book with your family, listening to storytellers, and purchasing books at the book fair.

They also enjoyed special appearances by Clifford the Big Red Dog, Geronimo, Ragedy Ann, and many more book characters. Beta Club members from Brookland-Cayce High School were also on hand to assist and provide refreshing snacks. April Mendenhall,  a literacy coach, spearheaded this event to emphasize the importance and joy of reading with family and friends.
