HENDERSON PROPERTIES EMPLOYEES VOLUNTEER
We love volunteers and this past week Henderson Properties staff members volunteered with us to promote literacy and the Dolly Parton Imagination Library to area children.



The students at Creative Day in Monroe received animals and applications to sign up for the Dolly Parton Imagination Library from Kelly, Laurie, and Lauren of Henderson Properties, as part of our campaign to promote reading. They handed out a PETSMART donated "reading buddy" to children to take home and read with every night.

Children introduced to reading early on tend to read earlier and excel in  
school compared to children who are not exposed to language and books  
at a young age (American Academy of Pediatrics)
