Fred Parent Events

Read for a Reason - December 17

Come Read For A Reason
Help Turn Bullies into Buddies And Make World Record History
This Holiday, put an end to school bullying once and for all. Take a stand and come read The Legend of Captain McFinn, a black tip reef shark and a former bully. Take the Bully pledge and be a part of making Spotsylvania World Record History.

What can be more satisfying, or educationally important, than reading to young children? Spotsylvania Towne Centre, B101.5, and FredParent will honor that wonderful activity by inviting parents from all over northern Virginia to participate in Read For A Reason. This special family event will take place on Saturday, December 17, at 10:00am at Muvico at The Village at Towne Centre. Registration takes place from 8am to 10am at Books-A–Million! (You can pre-register below to help us speed up the process on Saturday morning.)

Characters from the Captain McFinn & Friends Kids Club will be on hand to greet the children. To add to the fun, we’re shooting for a world record! A representative from the Guinness World Records organization will be on hand to certify it as “The most parents reading to their children in a single location.”

Readers must bring proof of guardianship, (Birth Certificate or Adoption papers) PLUS a valid Photo ID.

Help Set a World Record!
Join Our Attempt To Put Spotsylvania On The World Records Map
To add to the fun, we’re shooting for a world record! An official representative from the Guinness World Records organization will be on hand to certify it as “The most parents reading to their children in a single location.”

 

Your reading "team" will consist of only one parent and one child, but you are welcome to bring all your children along. To help us set the world record, the more PARENTS we have, the better, so bring your husbands and wives, and tell your neighbors to come and read, too! You'll find the reading selection in the center of the December issue of FredParent. (The child can be any age up to age 16 to qualify as a "child" for the purposes of the world record.)

 

B101.5 will be broadcasting LIVE from Muvico that morning! Come be a part of history!

This is what you'll need that morning at the check-in table:

  • First and Last Name of Child
  • First and Last Name of Guardian reading to child
  • Proof of Relationship to child - Birth Certificate - Adoption Papers - or Guardianship paperwork
  • Name of Child's school
  • Valid Photo ID - Driver's License - Passport - Green card - State ID 

Each parent reading to each child needs to have all of this. So if you have 2 parents and 3 kids that morning, you'll need birth certificates/paperwork for 2 kids plus photo ID's for both parents.
