A Fun Day at the Zoo with RIF!
2015
Reading Is Fundamental teamed up with State Farm on Sunday September 20 to give away thousands of children’s books, string bags and animal masks as part of the ZooFiesta celebration at the Smithsonian National Zoo! We also handed out a bilingual animal-themed activity sheet, which is available to download here (English) and here (Spanish) for anyone wild about reading!
Joining in the fun were members of the Girl Scouts and Kappa Kappa Gamma, who came along to hand out books and spread word of the giveaway! By the end of the day, the entire zoo was a sea of yellow RIF bags and stickers, and more than a thousand children went home with books to call their own.
RIF’s participation in ZooFiesta came thanks to a Good Neighbor Citizenship Grant from State Farm.
