Come Learn about Bookfest, Important 3rd-grade reading benchmarks, and how you can help!
Wednesday 3/24 from 5-6:30 pm, virtual
Bess Jayme, Director of Education for United Way of Lane County, and Lizzie Gray, Project Coordinator for Connected Lane County, will be educating us about our joint literacy project, Bookfest, and how it looks a little different this year. They will also discuss the importance of students reaching 3rd-grade reading benchmarks and how providing books to students prior to summer can help reduce their "summer slide". We hope that you will join us to learn more about this incredible program and learn how you can help provide books to Lane County students this spring.
