TMCNet: Thousands walk to promote reading [The Fayetteville Observer, N.C.]

[October 17, 2009]

Thousands walk to promote reading [The Fayetteville Observer, N.C.]

(Fayetteville Observer (NC) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Oct. 17--The mantra for the day: "Reading Rocks!" It was heard time and time again this morning as thousands converged downtown on Festival Park to celebrate a pastime that many schoolchildren once participated in without the prodding.


Reading.

And that was why, on this day, reading rocks.

Cumberland County Schools' sixth annual Reading Rocks! walk played out on a brisk but sunny morning. All 87 public county schools were represented by contingents of students, parents, teachers and staff. In parade-fashion, they bundled up in warm jackets, sweaters and hoodies to make the 1.5-mile trek through downtown to promote the merits of reading and literacy.

Sonya Williamston, an exceptional children's teacher at Luther "Nick" Jeralds Middle School, said the program's underlying motivation is necessary in a computer age.

"I think it's because kids -- we're getting away from it," she surmised. "Years ago, we didn't have computers and video games. We were more creative. We were more disciplined. Kids today aren't taught the basics." The first year of the walk, students and corporate sponsors raised about $48,000. On Saturday, master of ceremonies John Malzone announced that $167,000 had been raised in 2009.

Money generated by the walk is used to buy books for the school libraries, said Belinda Cashwell, the chairwoman of the program.

Attendance figures were unavailable on Saturday's turnout.

Tara Cross was on hand with her main man, Duane Decker. They had come to support her 8-year-old daughter, Jenna, a third-grader, who was standing with the group from Long Hill Elementary School.

Cross, who moved to Linden from Philadelphia in April, said she had just bought four advanced reading books for Jenna. The youngster has discovered a real passion for reading since relocating to North Carolina.

According to Cashwell, Cumberland County has a monopoly on Reading Rocks. From what she has heard at seminars and conventions, the local school system is the only one in the country to promote this sort of initiative.

"The whole thing we're trying to do is spotlight literacy. And a love for reading," she said. "We want to show the students that the whole community loves reading. Part of this is teaching children to read. Reading affects everything from the cradle to the grave." Rubin Thomas was never a big reader coming up. But once summer vacation rolled around, his parents made him do it.

That left a major impression on the 47-year-old Cedar Creek resident, who is married to Williamston, the exceptional children's teacher.

"Now I make my kids read," he said, "because that's the key to education." Their children -- 10-year-old Chanel and 9-year-old Jeremiah -- were in the mix parading through the downtown streets. Both attend J.W. Seabrook Elementary.

"My little girl, she loves to read," Thomas said. "My son. He's getting into it." And that's what Reading Rocks is all about.

Once the Jack Britt High School Band played the National Anthem to kick things off, those familiar chants of "Reading Rocks!" again resonated through the park.

"I don't know many places (where) 15,000 people would be celebrating reading on a Saturday morning," Cashwell said. "It's amazing to me, and I'm the chairperson." Staff writer Michael Futch can be reached at futchm@fayobserver.com or 486-3529.
