Dr. Don Costlow of Newton Veterinary Hospital recently paid a visit to the pre-school classroom at the Little Sprouts Early Learning Center to read several winter-themed books as part of Project Self-Sufficiency’s Celebrity Reader program.

“Sussex County is lucky to have the Project Self-Sufficiency children’s program available to its residents,” Costlow said. “It was a pleasure reading to the children.”

The Celebrity Reader program is a component of Project Self-Sufficiency’s Family Literacy Program, which exists primarily to assist parents with obtaining their GED or with passing the college placement exam. While in the program, parents also engage in a variety of activities designed to promote literacy with the entire family.
