House
of Morrow Celebrates Third Diverse Voices/Voces Diversas
Literacy Program Book Launch Event
Emporia, KS – Meadowlark Press and House of Morrow, a local fund under the Emporia Community
Foundation nonprofit, are thrilled to announce the launch of
the third annual Diverse Voices/Voces Diversas anthology. The book,
written this spring by 80 local fifth grade students and published by Meadowlark Press, will be celebrated with two book launch events.
House of Morrow’s Diverse Voices Literacy Program has become one of the organization’s cornerstone initiatives, providing young students with opportunities to explore their own creativity, improve literacy skills, and express their unique voices.
For the past two years, the program took
place solely at Walnut Elementary School, and this year, in addition to
Walnut’s continued participation, Logan Avenue Elementary School adopted the
program, too.
Each school will celebrate with its own
book launch event, both of which are free and open to the public. The event
will include readings by the authors, refreshments, and an opportunity to
purchase signed copies of the book. The books are available for pre-order at www.meadowlarkbookstore.com.
Walnut Elementary School’s book launch
event will take place at 6 p.m. April 28 at the Clint Bowyer Community
Building.
Logan Avenue Elementary School’s book
launch event will take place at 6 p.m. May 5 at the Clint Bowyer Community
Building.
This year’s program is entirely funded by
grants and donations, including support from United Way of the Flint Hills,
Emporia Community Foundation, and Rotary Club of Emporia.
House of Morrow invites its fellow
Kansans to explore its programs, volunteer opportunities, and donation
information at houseofmorrow.org.
