Join Soar in 4 Manatee for a Free Family Night of Learning and Exploration at The Bishop Museum

Families in Manatee County are invited to kick off the new year with a special educational evening at The Bishop Museum of Science and Nature on Wednesday, January 8, 2025, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The event, hosted by Soar in 4 Manatee, offers a unique opportunity for families to explore the museum while participating in interactive learning experiences designed to ignite children's curiosity and foster a love for literacy.

The evening will feature hands-on literacy activities, free educational resources, and the chance for each child to take home a free book. This month’s spotlight story is The Lion & The Mouse by Jerry Pinkney, a beautifully illustrated retelling of the classic Aesop’s fable that emphasizes kindness, empathy, and problem-solving.

Throughout the event, families can engage in activities inspired by the featured book and discover various exhibits within The Bishop Museum, creating an enriching experience for all attendees. Community partners will also be present, sharing valuable resources for early learning and family support.

Soar in 4 Manatee’s mission is to support early literacy and family engagement by providing children with meaningful learning experiences that prepare them for lifelong success. This free family night aligns with their goal of making educational opportunities accessible to the entire community.

Don’t miss this chance to make learning fun and memorable while exploring the wonders of The Bishop Museum of Science and Nature.
