Summer Reading Program
2018-06-25 08:30 - 12:30 (America/New_York) | Penrose Elementary School, 2515 S. 77th Street, Philadelphia, PA, 19153, United States
School may be out for summer, but that doesn’t mean our children should forgo learning. Summer is an important opportunity to foster an ongoing love of reading and prevent the “summer slide.”
I’ve teamed up with Philadelphia Reads and Wills Eye Hospital to hold a FREE “Read to Succeed” Summer Reading Program for students in grades 1 to 3.
The program takes place Mondays through Thursdays, from June 25 to July 19 from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Penrose Elementary School
Students receive free breakfast and lunch and a free eye exam.

Gunlock Give-a-Way
2017-12-16 10:00 - 11:00 | 12th Police District, 6448 Woodland Avenue, Philadelphia, PA, 19142, United States
Chilling Events Involving Children, Accidental Deaths Involving Guns Prompt Action
Harrisburg – December 11, 2017 − State Sen. Anthony H. Williams (D-Philadelphia/Delaware) in partnership with Sheriff Jewel Williams and Inspector Derrick Woods of the Southwest Police Division will be hosting a gunlock give-a-way in Philadelphia on Saturday, Dec. 16 at 10 a.m. The location for the safety lock give-a-way will be at 12th Police District, 6448 Woodland Ave.
Williams’ gunlock give-a-way is being held in concert with a citywide gunlock distribution effort undertaken by the Philadelphia Sheriff’s office. This is an ongoing initiative to prevent children from being wounded and/or killed in accidental shootings involving unsecured firearms. The recent shooting involving a three-year old from West Philadelphia with an unlocked gun has focused heightened attention on prevention activities.
The U.S. General Accounting Office has estimated that nearly one-third of accidental firearms deaths could be prevented if gun locks or load indicators were used.
Who: Sen. Anthony H. Williams
Sheriff Jewel Williams
Inspector Derrick Woods
What: Gunlock Give-a-way
When: Sat. Dec. 16 at 10 a.m.
Where: 12th Police District — 6448 Woodland Ave.
