April 21, 2023 — Jr. League of Houston
Keynote Speaker — Jarren Small - Reading With A Rapper
Luncheon Chairs — Lisa Governale & Renee Humphrey
Did you know that 41% of young children in Houston are not ready for kindergarten? Or that 73% of 3rd graders in Houston do not read at grade level?
Literacy Now provides reading readiness and reading intervention programs, parent engagement, and trained volunteer mentors for our Lunch Bunch program - elements contributing to children's long-term success. We support children and their families in HISD and Aldine ISD and community sites throughout Houston. Our goal is to empower students to read on grade level by the end of third grade, thereby increasing the likelihood that children will graduate from high school and be ready to pursue postsecondary goals.
Mark your calendar for April 21, 2023, for the 9th Annual Guild Luncheon, Literacy is the Key, at The Junior League.
Join Luncheon Chairs Lisa Governale and Renee Humphrey along with the Literacy Now Guild, at this incredible event benefiting the children and families we serve.
