Bll of Rights Read Aloud: Volunteers Needed

Join The Rendell Center, the American Board of Trial Advocates, and The Pennsylvania Bar Association for a December Read Aloud Program focusing on the Bill of Rights. Lawyers and judges are being recruited to virtually read to elementary school classes from Dec. 11 - 18, 2024 in Celebration of Bill of Rights Day, December 15, 2024.

Three (3) books have been selected to make Read Alouds this month especially memorable:

  • Freedom on the Menu by Carole Boston Weatherford
  • Carl the Complainer by Michelle Knudsen
  • Snowballs for Severance by Richie Frieman

What is Needed: Attorneys or Judges to commit to a Zoom call with elementary school students in which they will read one of 3 selected books to the class and lead them in a brief discussion about the book.

What is Provided: The Rendell Center will provide each lawyer with a PowerPoint of the book and handle all logistics (scheduling, Zoom setup, and introduction on reading day).

Bill of Rights Read Aloud is a wonderful way to:

  • Celebrate the Constitution and the Rule of Law.
  • Make young students aware of the Constitution and its history.
  • Promote interest in young people in the law.
