March Hope Project

Change 1 Child book club

We currently have 350 children in our book Club. These children will be reading for fun for a total of 720 minutes or 12 hours over a 2 months period. We encourage the children to read books that they received from us,books from the library, newspaper and children's magazine. We will reward the children that reach this goal and those that show tremendous improvements in their reading scores during the school year. Please help to Change 1 Child by supporting our reading club.

This is a story of a mother and daughter who enjoyed ballet dancing and found something in every season that reflected ballet dancing. After reading, we once again had a discussion with the class and distributed books to each child.
