Summer learning, that's what!
Baseball players from the Berwyn Recreation Department gathered at Over the Rainbow Ice Cream Parlor (6836 Windsor, Berwyn) on Saturday, July 23 to celebrate the CARES Summer Writing program. Berwyn CARES distributed hundreds of blank books at the beginning of baseball season and asked players to write about baseball! With the help of some amazing parents and coaches, the kids came up with such creative ideas! (Aliens playing baseball? What??) Young authors showed CARES members their completed summer baseball writing program books and got a *free* single ice cream cone!
Books were entered in the “Best of Baseball” writing contest. CARES members will judge entries and award a savings bond to one winner from each division.
Thanks to all players who participated this year, and thanks to all the parents and coaches who encouraged our ball players to be authors and illustrators this summer. We know that kids are at risk of losing skills over the summer if they don’t read and write every day. The CARES Summer writing program allowed Berwyn families to prevent summer learning loss while having fun. You hit it out of the park!
