Family Literacy volunteers will be visiting elementary schools in the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board area to read interactive stories with children. These events are taking place a few times a year and are a fun and rewarding experience for all involved!! Children will also be delighted by a visit from the Cat-in-the-Hat!
TLE is looking for family literacy volunteers for these events as well.

My Strength
I don’t know how to stay,
I’ll just jump from one place to the other, using my “lucky charm” power,
The colour green seems to give me more power,
Luck will give me more strength when there’s lots of gold,
People who are feeling blue,
I’ll strike my green laser to them,
A four-leaf clover will be my next power to help me fly,
My strength.
If You’re Lost Just Find Me
Independent- Super Heroine
I’ll find you in New York.
Don’t worry just keep cool.
You can be sure of me being there!!
Moonlight Reminds Me of Brightness
It was dark, the moon is bright. I become moonlight. That’s my superhero name.
