Lambda Chapter Brings StoryWalk to Robeson County
Lambda Chapter, representing Robeson and Scotland Counties have worked almost a year to raise funds, plan and prepare for StoryWalk Robeson with DKG. StoryWalk is a registered trademark and was originally founded by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, Vermont in cooperation with the Kellogg Hubbard Library. Reading comprehension continues to be a problem in our community. StoryWalk features the individual pages of a children’s book placed in permanent signs on a park trail. Each page will ask questions to help with comprehension. Books will be changed at least four times a year. We expect StoryWalk will give more visibility to DKG.
Saturday April 9 was the kickoff for Robeson County StoryWalk. Lambda Chapter has been working on this project for almost two years. High school and middle school student volunteers took the children and their families through the StoryWalk. Each child that participated in Story Walk received a free book of their choice, a goody bag, and a free icee. Lambda Chapter was pleased to have NC DKG president Beth Winstead and Region VI Director Patricia Pemberton attending the kickoff. Lambda Chapter was awarded a thousand dollars from Lumberton Councilman Eric Chavis at the opening ceremony. StoryWalk is a series of signs featuring individual pages of a children’s story book. As you move from one sign to another, children and families will read the story along with an activity while walking. Special thanks to Delta Kappa Gamma International Educators Foundation for their financial support.
