Read -a-thon at Sligo Creek Elementary School
The third graders at Sligo Creek raised an impressive sum from their Read-a-thon, and teacher Anna Weaver writes, "Our third graders were motivated readers as a result of the inspirational work you are able to do in Africa. As teachers, we were not only able to encourage fluent reading in out classrooms, but we were also able to extend this valuable quality to students in Africa though this donation." Thank you!
