Let's Read!
Our READS grant has started. This week 5th grade mentors were
trained. The younger students met their mentors on Wednesday at an ice
cream party. They were given tote bags, and their mentors helped them
select their first two books. Next week, the first session starts, and these
little guys are on their way to becoming stronger readers. This is one of
the ways that Rotary Club of Green Valley is supporting literacy in our
community. With the donation of items needed for the program, READS
will be sustainable in future years for vulnerable readers. The school
would not have been able to offer the program this year without the
matching grant from Rotary District 5500 and the work of Rotary Club
of Green Valley.
