Easter Egg Hunt

As part of Phelps’ focus on family literacy, we helped organize an Easter egg hunt in

collaboration with the Colby Curtis Museum. Over 50 kids and parents took part; families milled

around the grounds of the museum in search of a series of 6 eggs filled with treats and a secret

letter. The families then assembled the letters to solve a word problem, showing parents and

children how you can have fun with words. It was a beautiful sunny day and the Colby Curtis

provided treats, hot chocolate and tea for all those present for the morning activity. Free books

were handed out by Phelps to promote reading at home, as well as informational booklets on

health literacy for parents. Phelps looks forward to working with the museum team to

encourage families and kids to participate in other activities held by the museum.
