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.
