(KAIR)--Students at Atchison elementary school are providing a unique way for new mothers to bond with their new baby, and at the same time, learn a little bit themselves. According to a release from USD 409, the Bunny project is a cooperative effort sponsored by the Atchison National Education Association, Atchison Elementary School's CARE cadre, Atchison public schools, and many others. Students and staff from the school recorded a CD of children's songs and poetry that will be presented to new mothers along with a book of Mother Goose rhymes, a cloth bunny made by the Atchison Hospital Auxiliary volunteers, and information about the importance of reading and singing to your baby everyday to promote early literacy. The project will also help parents build a library of books to share with their children.
Brad Weaver, Atchison elementary school music educator says that the students and staff of the school really enjoyed creating the music for the Sing to your Bunny CD and that it was very fulfilling to see this project come to fruition.
Kristen Franz and her new daughter Miley Nicole were the lucky first recipients of the first Read and Sing to Your Bunny bag.
