An educational happy hour!
COVID-19 has disrupted education, with recent research at the national level showing only 60% of learners from low-income families regularly log in to classroom work compared to 90% of children from high-income families. Students may lose up to seven months of learning as a result. Join the Emerging Leaders and hear from local community leaders as they share how your support of Raise Me to Read is helping local students succeed.
