​Our Summer Reading program ​with "Ozzie The Reading Dog" was a great success!  Everyone enjoyed lots of fun activities with a different theme each week. Students got to go on a safari, camp under the stars, and relax on the beach!!!

During the first two weeks of May our volunteers read either
"The Princess of Everywhere" or "We're Going on a Treasure Hunt "
​ to all the HeadStart classrooms in Marion County.

Our goal is to promote literacy
​by reading books to the children.

​ Each child received their own personal copy of the book to enjoy!
