My Project

Time For Kids celebrates March into literacy month and it's a great time for my kids to encourage younger learners to love literacy. We have many elementary schools that feed into our middle school and I would love for my kids to share their loved books with some of the incoming 5th graders. Our middle schoolers would love to share their love for literacy with the younger learners and the Time For Kids monthly challenge is perfect for that. Bringing the joy of literacy with our younger feeder schools would be an amazing project to take on.

Our middle schoolers would love to get these diverse books for our younger students in some of our feeder schools.

Our kids will learn how to show empathy for others and kindness towards a population that needs our help in the community. We must take care of each other and speak up about literacy and how powerful it can be. This is a way for our kids to do a little bit of their part and hopefully, one day be advocates for the community they end up living in. We will create as many literacy bags as possible. Thank you for helping our kids learn more about how they can spread the magic and power of literacy to our community.
