Foundations for Learning
Our commitment to Excellence in Education starts
with theyoungest members of our community. Children starting in
Kindergarten for the first time come into school with a wide range
of experiences with books and reading, and we are partnering with
other stakeholders in the community to help reach out to families
with free books and "Reading Tips" to help get the most out of these
books. We obtain books through community book drives, publisher dontations, and purchases of new materials. If you or your
organization is willing to help by collecting or distributing books,
we would like to hear from you.
