Greetings!
We stood together when faced with adversity.
We found innovative ways to stay connected through a global pandemic. We discovered new wells of strength that we didn't know we possessed and found creative ways to deliver programs to our homebound residents.
As we cautiously engage in more face-to-face social gatherings and events, I urge you to err on the side of caution. We are happy to be in each other's presence but let's wear our masks, wash our hands frequently, and continue to stem the spread of COVID, so we never have to return to an entirely virtual life.
This newsletter shares upcoming events and exciting programs in the city of Plainfield. Use it as your guide to help navigate and plan your weekly schedule. We remain stronger together, let's love one another and #LovePlainfield.
Thank you, and stay safe!

Greetings!
Nos mantuvimos unidos cuando nos enfrentamos a la adversidad.
Encontramos formas innovadoras de mantenernos conectados a través de una pandemia global. Descubrimos nuevos pozos de fuerza que no sabíamos que poseíamos y encontramos formas creativas de ofrecer programas a nuestros residentes confinados en casa.
A medida que nos involucramos cautelosamente en más reuniones y eventos sociales cara a cara, los insto a que se equivoquen por el lado de la precaución. Estamos felices de estar en presencia del otro, pero usemos nuestras máscaras, lavémonos las manos con frecuencia y continuemos deteniendo la propagación de COVID, para que nunca tengamos que regresar a una vida completamente virtual.
Este boletín comparte los próximos eventos y programas emocionantes en la ciudad de Plainfield. Úselo como su guía para ayudarlo a navegar y planificar su horario semanal. Seguimos siendo más fuertes juntos, vamos amarnos uno al otro y #AmoPlainfield.
Gracias, y cuidate!
Thank you, and stay safe!

LOCAL NEWS: READ ACROSS AMERICA |
|
Did you know that March second was National Read Across America Day?
In 1998 the day was established by the National Education Association (NEA) to help kids discover the excitement of venturing into a new world when they pick up a book. The date was selected in honor of beloved children's book author Dr. Seuss and thus every year in celebration of Dr. Seuss's birthday it is customary to read one of his famous tales like One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish (source).
As per tradition, the City of Plainfield held its annual Read Across America event on Wednesday, March 2, 2022. Members of Plainfield's administration volunteered to read their favorite children's book to the kids of our community. It was a virtual event.
Please join the City of Plainfield in thanking Council President Barry N. Goode and Councilwoman Terri Briggs-Jones for reading to the young students of Plainfield on March 2, 2022, for National Read Across America. Council President Goode visited Clinton and Barlow Elementry School. Councilwoman Briggs-Jones read to the students of Clinton Elementary School as well.
