Dear Friends of Reading to Kids,
Last Saturday we had 330 kids, 202 volunteers,
69 parents, and 21 teachers & staff
join together for our May 11th reading clubs, our 25th Anniversary!
(Click on either image to see it full size)
We had 50 more kids attend this May than last May!
Our first reading clubs were held at Gratts Elementary in May 1999, and thanks to volunteers like you we have since given away more than 284,000 books!
