Across America and Team Hercules “Make it Matter”
Some might think a morning with 100 children all under the age of five is not their idea of a good time. However, if you add some new faces, a couple of Dr. Seuss books, and a funny hat you have a successful recipe for smiles and laughs.
On March 2nd Sigma Group’s Team Hercules proudly partnered with Read Across America. We gladly celebrated the birthday of beloved children’s author Dr. Seuss by reading to several groups of children at the YMCA of Greater Bergen County.
Dana, our Associate Media Director, said it best when she noted her favorite part was, “Captivating the children’s attention and taking their imaginations for a wild ride through storytelling.” With Dana manning the ship the children were indeed treated to quite a ride. She spent over an hour reading story after story to a group of three-year-olds who sat with wide eyes and open mouths through it all. Dana provided a voice for each character in her story and with an animation that rivaled even the most dramatic Disney character.
For Joanna, our Account Director, it was being able to share three of her own children’s favorite stories with new smiling faces that gave her the most joy. This also provided Joanna with an experience that she could share with her own children about her day that they could easily relate to.
For me the best part was not only seeing the joy that we were able to bring to the children but also the joy the children brought to all of our participants. It was a win-win experience that created an energizing natural high that lasted all day long! It certainly was time well spent.
This is one of the many ways Sigma Group and Team Hercules are “making it matter.” We feel that allowing employees to enrich their day by focusing on a cause with purpose rather than profit provides our communities with a commodity they can cash in.
Read Across America is an initiative that requires so little time and resources that there really is no negative to this program.
