Can you believe the summer is almost over? It’s been a few weeks since we donated books for a Summer Reading program. Thanks in part to your contributions we were able to distribute 25 books to area children from our Just As I Am Reading Program. The event was focused on discussing ways to make reading fun during the summer months. The children were excited to read our book selection and they were gifted additional books from our book partner.
It’s now that time of year where the reading program provides backpacks to children in our community whose family may have financial difficulties. This year we’ve partnered with two organizations one focused on supporting a school district here in Nassau County and another supporting a school district in Bronx, NY. Having the necessary supplies for school is essential to children learning and we believe that our backpack we are donating will give students the confidence to have a successful year.
We are planning for another Fall Reading program at the Howell Road Elementary school at the start of the school year. I thank you again for your continued support I look forward to sharing with you all the success of the events in our next report. It is because of donors like you we are able to have such impactful projects in our community. Please continue your support by sharing our project with your network and to continue funding our project.
Warm Regards,
Marsha
