Fundraiser Story
Help Us Fuel the Literacy Movement – One Reader at a Time!
For four years, I’ve served as a Literacy Specialist, working with students, teachers, schools, and districts across Louisiana and beyond. My mission is urgent: close the literacy gap, boost student success, and help every child become a confident reader.
Through coaching, modeling, and planning, I’ve seen the power of supported educators and empowered students. Our efforts are paying off—Louisiana’s 4th-grade reading scores jumped from 50th in 2019 to 16th in 2024—the biggest gain in the U.S., per the Nation’s Report Card.
But our work isn’t done. I see the magic of a child learning to read, the confidence of a supported teacher, and schools growing stronger.
