Cobb Literacy Council Brings Community Together
Since starting the project in 2005, the Cobb Literacy Council has made an impact on the lives of over 35,000 students. This year volunteers were able to touch sixteen elementary and four middle schools in Cobb County, GA. Funding for the project is made possible by Cobb EMC and GAS South, two local businesses which value education and giving back to the community.
Teachers and students were extremely appreciative of their gift. The staff expressed how important a dictionary truly is. It cultivates problem solving, creative thinkers and resourceful learners.

It was an amazing community effort all the way around. We are hopeful that we will be able to expand this project in 2016.
