The holidays are here and we want to thank you all for the gifts you have given us so that we can give to others. As we look back at the wonderful things that we have accomplished this year we are thankful for donors like you. This year we hosted several school and childcare facilities with our Just As I Am Reading program as well and donated backpacks to deserving children in need.
We were invited to Bright From the Start Childcare Center to bring our program to a new group of students. Thanks to your contributions we were able to distribute 12 books to the children from our Just As I Am Reading Program. The event was focused on discussing ways to make reading fun during the winter recess. The children were excited to read our book selection and they were gifted additional books from our book partner.
As we look onward to 2019 we are planning for our spring reading program and will be working with the local libraries to broaden the program outside of the schools. We are also planning for our annual backpack drive so that we can provide support to as many families as possible in the fall of 2019. As you know having the necessary supplies for school is essential to children learning and we believe that the backpack we donate will give students the confidence to have a successful 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
