Cozy Time at Blue Ridge

Dressed in pajamas featuring everything from princesses to pigs, and carrying everything from blankets to teddy bears, children gathered at Blue Ridge Elementary School March 4 for a special story time. “Bedtime Stories at Blue Ridge” provided the opportunity for families to spend an enjoyable evening together dining on pizza, making a craft and enjoying a story.

The free event featured Pre-K teacher Mrs. Whitehead reading “Humphrey’s Bear” by Jan Wahl. The book took everyone on a bedtime journey that included sailing to a far of island. Families also gathered with CARES volunteer Cindy G. Reynolds to make sail boats.

“Bedtime Stories at Blue Ridge” was made possible through a joint effort with Blue Ridge School District and Susquehanna County CARES (Childcare, Agencies, Resources and Educational Services.) CARES is a non-profit group dedicated to enhancing quality early care and education in the county, and supports Pennsylvania’s Promise for Children, because every child is Pennsylvania’s future.
