This is the 4th year we have participated in the project. It has been a big hit with the kids, teachers and administrators. We hope to improve the kid’s reading, writing and spelling skills as well as reduce illiteracy amongst our local students. This is a great community project and allows our organization to show community involvement and that we believe that the kids are our future and that we really want to help the schools and teachers so they can help our kids.
