Parents
and children were invited to take part in kindergarten registration for
students enrolling in the Fall River Public Schools at the Fall River Children's
Museum on August 5, 2014. The event was held "after hours"
from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. to make it easier on working parents. The event
targeted all children through the age of five to stress the
importance of early education, the early childhood programs available, and
the support services available to families. "We also made it a fun
family event," noted Executive Director Jo-Anne Sbrega" We have
lots of community partners with us here this evening, lots of give-aways,
and lots of great information about healthy eating and healthy lifestyles,
and literacy and so-forth," she added. The free event was sponsored
in part by BayCoast Bank
who provided free tee shirts using the logo "Ed Up" from the
Chamber of Commerce encouraging early childhood education. Click here for a
