Enjoy:
✨ Dinner( Hamburgers)

💙 All proceeds from the Book Fair will directly support The Basics movement in our community. The Basics gives families the tools and community support to build those meaningful conversations that lead to school readiness. This movement helps lay the foundation early, and as children grow, we can continue encouraging families to stay engaged and support learning at home.

As we head into the Christmas season, the Candler County Literacy Council would like to remind you that some of the most meaningful learning happens in the everyday moments you already share with your child.
Simple actions like talking, reading, playing, and showing love help build strong brains and support your child’s growth—without adding stress or extra work. These moments are free, easy, and fit naturally into your daily routines, especially during the holidays. We've given you some ideas below!
This Christmas, remember that your time, attention, and conversation are the greatest gifts of all.
Warm holiday wishes,
Candler County Literacy Council
