HGTV’s Property Bros. in Town to Turn Pages, Get Physical

Drew and Jonathan Scott, hosts of HGTV’s hit show “Property Brothers,” joined US Secretary of Education Arne Duncan at the fifth — and final — Let’s Read! Let’s Move! event of 2013 on Tuesday at the National Building Museum.

After guiding hundreds of students on a tour of the House & Home/Play, Work, Build exhibitions –and sharing stories of building dream homes like they do on TV –the Property Brothers joined in on interactive storytelling in front of the first-ever National Building Museum exhibition dedicated to the greening of American schools…  and a series of playtime physical activities fashioned after First Lady Michelle Obama’s initiative to combat childhood obesity.

The Let’s Read! Let’s Move! series is carried out in partnership with the YMCA of Metropolitan Washington PHD (Physical, Healthy, Driven) program, and the Target Corporation, which provides healthy snacks and a new free book for every child in attendance.
