GOOCHLAND DENTISTRY HELPS BUILD LITERACY IN VIRGINIA
Peter Murchie D.D.S. Family & Cosmetic Dentistry collects gently-used children’s books to benefit the non-profit Read Aloud Virginia and encourage Smiles for Life!
Short Pump/Manakin-Sabot (July 26, 2010) – During the month of August Peter Murchie Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, www.GoochlandDentistry.com, in Manakin-Sabot will collect gently-used children’s books for the Richmond-based non-profit organization Read Aloud Virginia (RAV). These books will be distributed to deserving children in our area through RAV’s programs in community centers, daycares, schools and afterschool facilities.
The public can bring their gently-used children’s books to the office of Dr. Murchie on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. during the entire month of August. His office is conveniently located at 1606 Hockett Rd. Suite #3, in Goochland County just off Broad Street Road, a few miles west of Short Pump and the 288 interchange in Manakin-Sabot.
Dr. Murchie offers, “As a dentist, I help people smile, speak and eat. Reading a good book brings a big smile to my face. I love to read myself and love to read to my children. My parents read to me every day, and their love and time spent reading with me has had a tremendous influence on my life. We invite you to drop off your books at our office to spread the smiles from reading good books, with children in our area.”
Statistics show that children who have not developed some basic literacy skills by the time they enter school are 3-4 times more likely to drop out in later years. “Reading Aloud to children increases their vocabulary, enhances their listening skills, and fosters a positive attitude toward reading” (www.trelease-on-reading.com). The public can find out more about this worthwhile effort and Read Aloud Virginia at www.GoochlandDentistry.com, click on “Special Events.”
Peter R. Murchie Family & Cosmetic Dentistry is conveniently located in Goochland County, just a few miles west of Short Pump and near the West Creek office park. They offer free teeth whitening for life to all patients and will perform a complimentary dental insurance review to help maximize benefits. Financing plans are available.
