As part of Read Across America activities in March, pre-schoolers at
the St. Charles Children’s Learning Center at the College of Southern
Maryland enjoyed the antics of an artsy squirrel and other critters
courtesy of Charles County Board of Education committee members Roberta
Wise and Patricia Bowie.
Wise and Bowie were Celebrity Readers at the CLC, visiting on March 1
and 2, reading favorite stories with the children. Among the books were
“Mrs. Spitzer’s Garden” and “Micawber” read by Wise, “The
Glittery Crittery Counting Book,” “Who Stole the Cookie from the
Cookie Jar?” and “The Whistle on the Train” read by Bowie.
The St. Charles Children’s Learning Center at CSM features Celebrity
Readers throughout the year. Celebrating its fifth anniversary where
learning is child’s play, the Children’s Learning Center nurtures and
enhances the lives of children and their parents by creating an
environment that helps children interact with their world and peers, and
building confidence, self-esteem and a life-long love of learning.
The center is currently enrolling students for its summer day camp, for
ages 2 through 12. For information about the Children’s Learning Center,
