In keeping with their tradition of helping kids read during March is Reading Month, Carl and Jean donated 185 of their Find My Friends board books to the Head Start program at Huron Valley Schools Apollo Center near Milford, Michigan.

Carl and Jean are also donating their award winning In the Woods series (Lost in the Woods, Stranger in the Woods, First Snow in the Woods) of children’s picture books to the teachers at Apollo Center so they can read to the children and teach them gentle lessons of nature.

Huron Valley School Board member and Milford resident Lindsay Cotter collected and delivered the books. Lindsay said, “They are putting the books in the hands of the children that need them the most. Reading is the key to their future. The kids are so excited!”

We want to thank Lindsay Cotter for helping us make this happen and for delivering the books.

Created in 1965, Head Start is the most successful, longest-running, national school readiness program in the United States. Nearly 25 million pre-school aged children have benefited from Head Start. Learn more about Head Start.
