Community Activities/Events

WALK and TALK KOKOMO: September 22, 2007

On Saturday, September 22, the IU Kokomo Division of Education and the Early Childhood Education Center (ECEC) sponsored “Walk and Talk Kokomo.” From Noon.–4 p.m., education students under the direction of Dr. Shirley Aamidor, Dr. Amber Reed, and Professor Welsh were stationed at more than 30 Kokomo businesses and parks. They offered parents activity sheets suggesting fun, interactive ideas by which everyday activities can teach young children about numbers, colors, and words. Participants received educational materials for children and could sign up to receive the Early Childhood Education Center newsletter. The activity was free. 

Angel Walk/Take Back the Night:  April 22, 2008 5:30 to 8:00 p.m.
