Bright eyed and caffeine fueled, the FableVision Extra Life Team assembled at the Boston studio at 8 a.m., on Saturday. An hour later there would be pancakes and games – lots and lots of games.

On Wednesday, Oct. 23, I had the opportunity to help WGBH in overseeing the Race to the Top – Early Learning Challenge (RTT-ELC) Leadership Summit in Boston. The conference was organized to create dialogue about the RTT-ELC federal program among educators and administrators from museums, schools, government agencies, media companies, and nonprofits. The program is designed to close the achievement gap for high-needs children, and to ensure that all children enter kindergarten ready to succeed. Massachusetts received $50M over four years (2012-2015) to strengthen the state’s comprehensive early childhood education system.
FableVision's special Boston Book Festival edition Stories that Move Open House greeted creative minds and book lovers from all over Boston. The evening was co-hosted with storytelling partners United Way, Reading Is Fundamental, and the National Writing Project. Media stations around the studio highlighted some of FableVision's favorite projects, including Our Tree, and interactive eBook apps "Water Wonders" and "Our Book by Us!"
