Last week, we had the pleasure of sponsoring an ice cream social for the classroom who read the most minutes during cincyreads513 city-wide reading challenge! Congrats again to Ms. Rohrer’s kindergarten class for being top readers and showing a commitment to literacy!

We held our first advisory board meeting, bringing together a group of leaders who believe in the importance of literacy and diverse stories for children.

We’re growing! So thankful to have voices around the table helping guide the vision and expand our impact in classrooms and communities.
