Bellaire/SW Loop A.C.T.S. (Area Churches Together in Service) hosted a party for the children and their families who are in the reading mentoring program at Gordon Elementary School. The party was held on Saturday afternoon, April 26, at Bellaire United Methodist Church.
The children enjoyed balloons, face painting, book mark crafts, cake, ice cream, candy and punch. Sheila, the “zoo lady”, provided wonderful storytelling for the children and their families. Sheila used her guitar to teach songs and sing some very funny yet meaningful stories.
As an extra surprise, every child received two new books for their reading pleasure over the summer. It was a wonderful time to celebrate all the reading successes the children experienced throughout the year.
