Team Bliss and officials from Soldier Outreach Services will conduct a "Tell Me a Story" event sponsor by the Military Child Education Coalition (MCEC). On Saturday, April 6 from 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.

“Tell Me a Story" is a literacy promotion event sponsor by the MCEC (Fort Bliss's Parent-to-Parent Team) for school age children of Survivors and Wounded Warriors.  This event involves the reading of an age appropriate book followed by arts and craft activities based upon the book.

This event will be for Survivors and Wounded Warriors' Families with school age children. Each family attending the event will receive a copy of the book read at the event, "Giraffes Can't Dance".

Special guest reader will be Mrs. Lucille Pittard, spouse of Maj. Gen. Dana J.H. Pittard, Commanding General of 1^st Armored Division and Fort Bliss. Mrs. Pittard will read the book “Giraffes Can’t Dance,” by Giles Andreae.
