We completed another wonderful year serving students in our community.  With the help of many, we brought exciting and life changing literacy programs. We touched the lives of over 4,000 children in elementary, middle and high schools. 

Included below are a few highlights, recent news items, and current reading data for your review. We have also included a "save the date" for our Fall Event, set for November 10th, 2016. We would love to see you there! 

With much appreciation,
