Santa Claus is coming to town early this season for 305 participants
of Save the Children's literacy programs. The event will be held at
Augusta Elementary School in Augusta, Ark. A Noerr Programs Santa,
with a natural beard and a real belly laugh, will leave his
temporary residence at Simon Property Group's McCain Mall in North
Little Rock to mark the launch of "Read, Learn and Be Merry". He
will arrive by sleigh, bearing books that support a "Read, Learn and
Be Merry" mission. At this annual early-literacy campaign, sponsored
by Noerr and Save the Children, Santa will read a classic Christmas
tale to children from kindergarten through fifth grades and deliver
a new book to each child on behalf of Scholastic, Inc. In support of
the literacy campaign, the First Lady of Arkansas, Ginger Beebe,
will be accompanied by members of Save the Children's Arkansas
Leadership Council. She will help hand out books and talk to the
children about the importance of a good education.
