‘Kindles for Kids’ Benefit at John Brewer’s Tuesday

Print Coupon, Dine at John Brewer’s Tavern on April 12

Thanks to the extremely generous support of two local community service organizations, the Medford Kiwanis Club and the Rotary Club of Medford, the Medford Public Schools was able to launch its “Kindles for Kids” program this year.

The “Kindles for Kids” program will provide clusters of twelve Kindles to district teachers/specialists to incorporate in their instruction. This would include activities such as reading different genres of books, researching and creating projects, accessing newspapers such as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and the Boston Globe and reading magazines. The “Kindles for Kids” program is part of the district’s literacy action plan, which strives to provide students with the opportunity, support, and necessary resources to advance to their highest level of literacy in reading, writing, listening, and speaking across content areas throughout their school experience.

We would like to purchase a cluster of Kindles for the high school and John Brewer’s Tavern, owned by Medford resident and MHS graduate Bill Honeycutt, is going to help. Simply dine at John Brewer’s Tavern (located at 7 Highland Avenue, Malden) on Tuesday, April 12, between 5pm and 11pm and 20% of your purchase will be donated to the Kindles for Kids program at Medford High.

You will need to print a special coupon (click here for it), bring it with you, and present it to your server.
