Today at Esperanza Elementary School, one of our partner schools in Los Angeles, we had an amazing read aloud event with All-Pro NFL wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown! This joint event with Read to a Child, LAUSD, and the St. Brown Foundation showcased the fun of reading while also highlighting the importance of literacy and perseverance. St. Brown read “The Word Collector” to over 200 4th and 5th graders, and took the time to answer questions!
Thank you to Amon-Ra and the St. Brown Foundation, LAUSD, and our partners at Esperanza Elementary for making this happen!
As National Reading Month comes to a close, we want to share photos from a wonderful read aloud event! On March 18, students at Adler Elementary in our Metro Detroit region got to hear from space scientist Dr. Clark. It was a joyful and inspiring read aloud, with students engaged and Dr. Clark answering questions about everything from space to fighter jets. Thank you Dr. Clark for spending time with our Read Aloud Mentoring Program students!
We also want to thank Board member Dave Walker for his help bringing this opportunity to life, as well as the incredible staff at Adler! We couldn’t have done it without them.
We have an especially big thank you to Metro Detroit partner General Motors! It is with their funding that each student got to bring home a copy of Dr. Clark’s book, “Skyler’s Space Adventures: An Unexpected Encounter. Thank you for being such a great partner!
All of us at Read to a Child want to thank the Guru Krupa Foundation for their continued support!

We are incredibly thankful for Guru Krupa Foundation and their partnership over the years.
