Reading to Kids Expands to Noble Elementary!

Beginning this month, we will be bringing the reading clubs each month to Noble Elementary School in the North Hills area of the San Fernando Valley. Our inaugural reading clubs were a big success this month, with 42 volunteers reading to 136 eager children!

Reading to Kids Thanks The Wells Fargo Foundation

Reading to Kids Hike Is a Success!

A group of eight people braved 90+ degree weather to participate in a 5.75 mile hike at Echo Canyon on Sunday, March 30. The hike provided a vigorous workout and a fun bonding experience for those involved. If you have any ideas for volunteer activities outside of the reading clubs, please contact our Taskforce Social Committee Chairs, Sandy and Laura at SandyRhee@readingtokids.org and LauraBojanowski@readingtokids.org.
