Reading Clubs Will Expand to Esperanza Elementary School in October

We recently met with the principal of Esperanza Elementary School and confirmed that we will be bringing the reading clubs there this October! The administration and teachers are very excited about the program. After the September reading clubs, the website will be updated so that you will be able to RSVP to Esperanza.
