Estimada Madeline,

I hope you're off to a great New Year. We wanted to share the information about Disney Reads Day Family Festival, scheduled for Saturday, January 28th in Los Angeles. Please feel share the "Save the Date" with your REFORMA colleagues, educators and community partners serving kids in need.

I've also attached the English and Spanish version of the invitation. Please note that this event is open to families, so you're welcomed to invite the families you serve.

We're starting to plan for Día, so let me know if your offer to connect with REFORMA members to plan for culminating Día celebrations next April is something you're interesting in collaborating on.

Mil gracias y saludos,

Roxana

It's time for the Disney Reads Day Family Festival
