Baby Book Drive
We are hosting a Baby Book Drive from March 8th to March 28th.
NEW & GENTLY USED Baby Books for ages birth to three.
Books can be dropped off in any of our 4 offices or you can select a book from the Amazon Wishlist here.
All books will be donated to United Way of Coastal and Western Connecticut who will distribute them to low-income families in Fairfield County.
Why is this important? Because...
- 2/3 of low-income families have no age-appropriate books in their homes.
- Reading proficiency is the #1 predictor of school success.
- Lack of reading proficiency puts kids on the dropout track. They are 4x more likely to leave high school wihtout a diploma if not reading on grade level in Third Grade.
- Every child who doesn't graduate high school costs the individual, the family, and our society. The price is paid by all of us: $260K per person in lost earnings, taxes, productivity, and global competetiveness.
Together, we can positively impact a child's future academic growth and job attainment.
