Several representatives of Kaine Homes participated in Barstow Elementary School’s first SNUGGLE UP AND READ event on Friday, January 30, 2009. SNUGGLE UP AND READ was sponsored by the Barstow Elementary PTA and is aimed at introducing elementary school children to the wonder of reading in an enjoyable and comfortable setting.
More than 50 elementary school students came to the Barstow gymnasium donning their pajamas and carrying pillows, blankets and sleeping bags. They sat in wonder as community volunteers read to them from assorted children’s books by authors from Judith Viorst to Dr. Seuss. Brooke and Ann Kaine of Kaine Homes were among the readers. They were joined by other notable Calvert County volunteers such as Sheriff Mike Evans, Commissioner Linda Kelley, Board of Education member Bill Chamber and United Way Director Kelly Chambers among many others.
The event was a rousing success and a second event is in the planning stages for the second quarter of 2009.
