Rotary District 5440 Governor Chris Woodruff and Karoline joined several Breakfast Club members for their monthly reading program at Laurel elementary School in Fort Collins. The students were thrilled to have a near "Santa" look alike reading with them. The reading program is a cooperative project between the Breakfast Club and the Book Trust organization.
The goal of Book Trust is to empower kids from low-income communities to choose and buy their own books, all through the school year. Studies show that children are much more likely to read books that they choose, and having books at home brings proven benefits.
Each year, Book Trust grows and helps more students. Funded entirely by generous donations, this year we will deliver 1 million books to 57,000 kids in 21 states. That’s a big number, but there are always more children needing our support. And we will keep on working to reach greater numbers every year.
