Summer Reading Club

One of our main goals is to instill a value of education in our students. Because our after-school program was such a success, we decided to continue on into the summer. We facilitated a summer reading club which consists of partnering with the public library to give the kids an opportunity to check out books and improve their reading skills. We have amazing volunteers that are teachers, who thought up curriculum and work one on one with our students on a weekly basis. Our first day, we had 46 kids participate. We were floored. Even our high school students wanted in! Our students are excited about learning and truly value their education and the opportunities available to them. Please pray for this program as it expands and continues on into the school year.
