As the new school year approaches, many families face the challenges of preparing their children for success, especially in light of food insecurity and limited resources. This year, we’re excited to announce the Back to School Resource Fair, an event designed to support our community in multiple ways. Partnering with TIPS & Nakobe Dean and the Philadelphia Eagles, we aim to provide essential resources to help families thrive as they head back to school.
As a vendor at this year’s Back to School Resource Fair, I am thrilled to share valuable information with our community about promoting bilingual literacy and diversity. With the new school year around the corner, many families are preparing to ensure their children are set up for succes.
A Focus on Bilingual Literacy
In today’s multicultural society, fostering bilingual literacy is more important than ever. Our selection of bilingual children’s books emphasizes themes of kindness, diversity, and empathy. These stories not only engage young readers but also help them understand and appreciate different perspectives, nurturing a sense of community and connection.
Join us for a day filled with valuable resources, fun activities, and local vendors & community support!
