cONTEST CLOSED Read for the Record
Ok, you know I’ve made that move to the big world of education. And, what I’m finding is pleasing for the most part. There are many many people involved on every level. Here are just a few places to find information about the Read for the Record campaign.
About Read for the Record: Jumpstart’s Read for the Record, presented in partnership with Pearson, is your chance to experience for yourself the importance of Jumpstart’s work in preschools year-round. Please join ONE MILLION children and us across the United States on October 8th, 2009. Together, we’ll read The Very Hungry Caterpillar – the 2009 limited edition campaign book, and help raise awareness of the importance of early childhood education.
Celebrities giving back to the kids! Tony, Golden Globe and Emmy award winning star Mary-Louise Parker and MTV’s The Hills star Lo Bosworth are teaming up with Jumpstart’s Read for the Record© campaign. Together, they are reading Eric Carle’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar – the 2009 campaign book. This will be a record-breaking celebration of reading, community service, and fun. Jumpstart’s Read for the Record will kick off on 10/08/09, on NBC's TODAY show in Rockefeller Center with Matt Lauer, Meredith Vieira, and more.
Participating is easy:
Be counted. Pledge to read today at readfortherecord.org. You’ll find everything you need to have your participation counted on October 8th.
Buy your book. Visit a Wal-Mart near you starting September 8th to buy this year’s limited edition campaign book to read with us! Or buy it online at readfortherecord.org; proceeds from book sales benefit Jumpstart.
Sponsor a book. Most of the preschool children Jumpstart works with have NO BOOKS at home, let alone the classic, The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Help “jumpstart” a child’s library - visit readfortherecord.org to donate a book today.
Get others involved? Spread the word to your friends and family!
And if you want more information…you can find it if you just look around….

Well, we already have this book in our house. But this would be another great gift for the parents of the baby I am carrying (surrogacy).
Thanks again.
