Festival of Readers
Friends of the Family proudly presents the Festival of Readers, an annual literacy fair that celebrates the transformative power of reading and education. The 2009 Festival was held at Maclay Middle School on November 7, 2009. More than 800 parents and children took part in musical, performance, dance, and educational activities. The We Read, We Rock Award was presented to 1st Place winner, 9 year old Gricelli Paramo from Montague Charter Academy, based on the essay she submitted about the powerful impact reading has had on her school success and on her family. Thanks to partner organizations First 5 LA, T.H.R.I.V.E. Family Development, Los Angeles Education Partnership, Child Care Resource Center, Project SAFE-The Help Group, Broadous Ready for School, Maclay Middle School, and notable folk and cultural performer Jose Luis Orozco for helping to make this a memorable community event.
