Summer Reading Program Participants Off to a Great School Year

The foundation's Summer Reading & Literacy Program helped students enhance their reading and math skills over the summer, giving them momentum going into the new school year! In checking with the parents of those who attended the programs, they are doing great and some of their early test of the school year is reflecting it.
