Join the Jewish Federation's Women's Philanthropy for our first service project focusing
on literacy and the importance of reading proficiency in our school system.
TUESDAY, JANUARY 30
8:30 - 11:30 AM
MORRISON LIBRARY
On January 30, we will start our day at 8:30am with a light breakfast and discussion with a staff member from "Read Charlotte", an organization founded in 2015 in collaboration with local business, nonprofit, education, philanthropic, and civic leaders. Read Charlotte has set up a bold goal: to double third grade reading outcomes over the next decade. Come and learn of ways you can be a part of that change in our community.
We will then divide into two groups to visit two of our community's schools: Huntingtowne Farms and Sterling Elementary. Volunteers at the schools will read with a young child or two, sharing their attention, warmth and enthusiasm about books. Additionally, the Federation will provide books as gifts to the elementary school students with whom we will be reading and visiting that day.
This event is free and open to all women, however space is limited and registration is required. CLICK HERE TO RSVP prior to January 22.
Please note: All event attendees need to be registered as CMS Volunteers.
