rkidsrpeople2 sponsored a back to school blast that provided the kids with new reading books and some supplies.some of the kids even received new shoes to start the school year off with. I was so pleased with them, and I am looking forward to using their tutoring again this year. My kids loved it!

LMYDC has been very supportive of the Everyone Reads Program and has built a library that is 2nd to none for the residents of the youth center. The staff has embraced the reading program and the kids are able to check books out and keep them in their room. The students love being able to pass their time reading and keep staff informed of other books they would like to see in the library. It is very refreshing to hear the residents discuss authors and books especially because many of them have never read a book before coming to the detention center.

Class Act Federal Credit Union has really done a tremendous job this year supporting Every 1 Reads. Not only have they contributed financially, but they have provided almost their entire staff as volunteers. Additionally, they have worked with the Newburg Boys and Girls Club to help with many projects. Hats off to Class Act!
