Come on over on Saturday morning, October 26th, from 10-12 noon.

Get ready to walk or roll along together, stopping to enjoy special stories along the way. Our guest readers are looking forward to meeting you and your family.

Cherokee County School Superintendent, Dr. Jeana Conley, and Dr. Tipton-Rogers, President of Tri-County Community College will also be reading to the kids. Each child from birth to age five will receive a free book to take home!
“We are hoping that families will come to this event and find out more about how PAT works together with families to bring them innovative ways to promote healthy development for their young children,” said Sharon Nichols, PAT Educator and event sponsor.
Local community resource organizations will provide fun activities for children and resources for families at the Roll and Read event. It will be a great opportunity for families to learn more about how children learn and what’s available in the Cherokee County community for kids and families.
