Kinderberry Hill Announces Children Book Drive Benefit

Kinderberry Hill Child Development Center, Woodbury MN

In honor of “Read Across America Day”, Kinderberry Hill Child Development Center, Woodbury, announces a Children’s Book Drive to benefit the local nonprofit organization Read Indeed.

The Children’s Book Drive will take place February 20 to March 2, 2012. The community is encouraged to bring donations of new and gently used children’s books to Kinderberry Hill, located at 1205 Woodbury Drive, during business hours of 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Read Across America Day is an annual event that encourages adults to take time to read with a child. It is celebrated on the anniversary of Dr. Seuss’ birthday, March 2.

Read Indeed was started by Maria Keller, a book-loving 6th grader from Plymouth, MN. Maria wants to make the world a better place—one book at a time. She hopes to collect and distribute 1 million books to needy children by the time she's 18. To date, Maria has distributed over 500,000 books around the world.

“As childhood development professionals, we are passionate about nurturing a love of books at an early age,” said Kathy Sjursen, Executive Director of Kinderberry Hill, Woodbury. “We are thrilled to assist a remarkable young lady like Maria Keller in her quest to spread the joy of reading to more children.”

All six Kinderberry Hill locations will participate in the book drive. For more information on the Children’s Book Drive, call Kinderberry Hill at 651-209-6690 or visit www.kinderberryhill.com or www.readindeed.org

The above photo is of Newland Commuities original Stonemill Farms Information Center. This property was used as the Stonemill Farms Information Center for a number of years during the early phases of Stonemill Farms development until the Durham Executive Group sold it as a single family home for them. This property was the only single family home Newland Communities built and owned in the development. When Newland Community looked to sell the property they hired the Durham Executive Group (John & Becky Durham) to sell it as we are real estate experts in both the Woodbury community, as well as in Stonemill Farms.

The current Newland Communities Information Center is located at:

11400 Ivywood Trail Woodbury, MN 55129
