SOUTH BALDWIN LITERACY COUNCIL

The South Baldwin Literacy Council hosted its Annual Polar Express event at Foley's Heritage Park partnered with the Copper Kettle TeaBar. Dr. Robert Williams, a loyal tutor and board member, led a night full of wonder by reading The Polar Express to an audience of over one hundred students and their families. Even Santa and Mrs. Claus got an invitation! Each student received a beautifully illustrated edition of The Polar Express to take home to enjoy with their families for years to come.

The South Baldwin Literacy Council spent a spooky afternoon celebrating this Halloween season at Foley Public Library's Annual Halloween Extravaganza. We showed up as a true team to shoot some hoops, pass out candy, and to give away over 1750 books to community members!

The South Baldwin Literacy Council's "English in Action" ESL class took a field trip to the Wolf Bay Restaurant located here in Foley, AL. This field trip wrapped up our "restaurant" module for this class. First, we learned about dining etiquette, common phrases and vocabulary, and more in class. Then, Wolf Bay hosted us for a wonderful lunch where students could practice their skills. Chandra, the restaurant's General Manager, even gave a tour of the "back of the house"! We are grateful for our community's support of our programs.

The South Baldwin Literacy Council spent a beautiful morning at You, Me, and the Boys Farmstead reading to kindergarteners from Rockwell Elementary School. In addition, we donated 450 new and gently used children's books to the farm for the month of October.
