The C.A.R.E. Awards will be presented to the recipients at the Claire’s Day 2012 children’s book festival on Saturday, May 19.
Claire’s Day is a celebration of the life of Claire Lynsey Rubini and her love of reading. The day-long event includes children’s authors, illustrators, and a variety of hands-on activities. C.A.R.E. Awards (Claire’s Award for Reading Excellence) are presented to students from throughout the Greater Toledo area who have shown great improvement in their reading during the past school year. We encourage you to bring your child to enjoy the day and receive a recognition certificate and special award. Some important details:
