On April 27, 2010 BMAGIC will host over 800 children from pre-k to 2nd grade at the Bayview Opera House! We are partnering with the child development centers and elementary schools in Bayview Hunters Point to make sure that as many children in Bayview as possible are served. Our fair is designed to expose children to the power of literacy. Children engage in: reading circles, musical performances, book, puppet and jewelry making workshops, face painting, meeting animals from the SF Zoo, and provided with free culturally relevant and competent books from Book Press and Scholastic Books, along with a fresh organic seasonal fruit snack donated to us from Veritable Vegetable and Rainbow Grocery. They will also take home important information regarding the 2010 Census and a copy of the BMAGIC 2010 Summer Resource Guide!
