Read To Succeed - Help Wanted

In response to oft mentioned achievement gap concerns, an opportunity:

VOLUNTEER!

Cedar Fork Elementary Principal Kathleen Marynak and teachers have put together a new program called Read to Succeed and here is how it works:

• First, register as a volunteer with the Wake County Public Schools any Monday between the hours of 8:45 AM and 4:00 PM at Cedar Fork Elementary.


• Next, attend a brief training session on Tuesday January 11th at 9:30 AM at Cedar Fork Community Center.


• Then - get started! Commit to an hour or more per week to help elementary students become more successful readers. (All books and materials will be provided.)

That's all there is to it!

Politics aside, this is an opportunity for our community to respond in a very positive and tangible way to an identified need - decrease the reading achievement gap. It is also an opportunity to highlight some of the many initiatives within our Wake county schools to make a great school system even better.
