​HELP CELEBRATE "DIA DEL NINO" AT HUSD!

Dear Friends of HEF,
Do you have a favorite book from your childhood? Do you have books all around your home? Are there books on your living room table, stacked on your nightstand? What if you had not owned books as a child? Would that have impacted your life as a student, an adult, a thinker?
Owning books in a family library leads to more reading and to rich conversations with family and friends. Reading books for pleasure leads to broad vocabularies and academic success for our student readers.
We are fortunate to have an enthusiastic and devoted school librarian at Healdsburg Elementary School. She even has a black lab sidekick. Greta and Bosco run the show in our colorful school library. Greta’s enthusiasm is contagious, and Bosco is always ready to listen to our young readers.
Many of our Healdsburg children experience reading only at school. Celebrating reading as a shared adventure rather than simply a learned school skill is the goal of every library and librarian. We ARE what we READ!
HEF IS PARTNERING WITH COROZON HEALDSBURG IN A CELEBRATION OF OUR CHILDREN FOR “DIA DEL NINO” ON APRIL 30. Corazon will sponsor a fiesta for all our students with games, pinatas, dancing, and food. HEF will provide the best party gift of all: new BOOKS! Each child will receive a brand-new book to take home, read, reread, and treasure. This may be the first book in a home library for some children.
HEF has made a $2000 commitment to make this happen. PLEASE JOIN IN THE FUN! Select to "Donate" above to ensure that each student receives a new book.  No amount is too small- all donations welcomed.  Feel more comfortable writing a check? Make it out to HEF with “books” in the memo and send to P.O. Box 1668, Healdsburg, CA 95448.
MUCHAS GRACIAS to each HEF board member for personally contributing to this fund. And a huge thank you to Healdsburg Union School District’s continuing effort to build nourishing home libraries and to Greta and Bosco for helping our youngest community members define themselves as readers.
Sincerely,
Sara Leffew
Board Chair
