In an effort to raise awareness about educational opportunities for families, VITA will be hosting a students' visit to the Lafayette Children's Museum and Lafayette Parish Library, main branch on April 13, 2011 at 1:00 p.m.
The Children's Museum of Acadiana (CMA) is a hands-on participatory museum serving children and their families, schools, and community organizations by providing interactive exhibits, special services,
|
performances, and workshops.
Postcards are being sent out to students who have children or grandchildren that could benefit from these educational opportunities. Students must R.S.V.P., if interested in participating.
|

|
Students and staff members will walk to The Children's Museum and participate in a self-guided tour.
|
|
Everyone will then move to the Lafayette Public Library, now located on Jefferson St. while the main building is renovated.
Students will have an opportunity to apply for a library card, to take a tour of the temporary facility, and to receive the childrens book Fancy Nancy at the Art Museum, a book about visiting an art museum. Students will then be able to take the book home with them and read to their children/grandchildren.
