Dear Friends,

Happy New Year!

As we ring in 2025, I want to take this moment to wish you a year filled with health, happiness, and prosperity for you and your loved ones!

At Literacy Now we are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead for our students and their families as we work together throughout the year to empower our scholars to read at grade level.  We deeply appreciate the trust and support you place in our mission and vision as together; we are making a significant impact in our community.

Since taking on the role of CEO last August, I created a mantra for our team to embrace and I want to share it with you. Charting New Courses signifies not just a change in leadership, but perhaps, more importantly, how we as an organization must adapt to the ever-changing landscape within the schools we serve.  How can we strategically expand our efforts to meet the needs of young struggling readers throughout Houston? Over the past 18 years, Making It Better/Literacy Now has made remarkable strides in the community, accomplishing significant milestones with limited resources. My goal is to leverage this success and continue to navigate our growth and impact to as many children as possible.

Thank you for continuing with us on this journey!
