Dear PNB School Families,
Dance for All has the pleasure of receiving volunteer support from University of Washington graduate and doctoral students, some of whom are leading Dubs Reads: NICU, an initiative in collaboration with Dubs READS and the UW Speech & Hearing Clinic.
The initiative brings books to babies and their families in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), supporting early brain development, language, and connection while offering families comfort during an often-overwhelming time.
We are inviting the PNB School community to participate in a book drive. Perhaps you have gently loved books at home that are no longer being enjoyed and could find a new home with a NICU family! Donations of new or like-new books are welcome, including:
- Board books and high-contrast books for newborns
- Multilingual books (Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Korean, Russian, Hindi, and Ukrainian)
- Gentle stories about love, family, and bedtime
Donations can be dropped off at PNB Seattle or Eastside locations through Saturday, December 19, and more information can be found HERE.
Thank you for supporting our Dance for All volunteers and helping bring books, comfort, and connection to babies and families in the NICU.
Warmly,
Dance for All
