Page Ahead is grateful to the fifth graders at Bryant Elementary in northeast Seattle for their hard work in managing a successful book drive benefiting Page Ahead!
They collected 727 books and $360 to help build home libraries for other students who really need them. Read more about how fifth grade teacher Steve Garlid and his students made reading magic happen on our blog.
Thank you, Bryant Hawks!
Our friends at First Tech Federal Credit Union have an amazing gift for Page Ahead’s 33rd birthday! They’re matching ALL new monthly gift commitments—so when you make a monthly commitment to supporting literacy today, your generosity will go twice as far.
The Liftoff for Learning drive at Boeing, a way for all Boeing employees to support the
students Page Ahead serves, runs July 17 to August 11. Funds raised for Page Ahead will be used to give new books to kids in need. Thanks to Boeing employees and Liftoff for Learning, those kids won’t be left behind. Instead, they’ll get to choose and enjoy great new books—and develop their reading superpowers!
Are you raising a reader? Then we hope you will join Page Ahead at the Carl S. English Jr. Botanical Garden for summer story times!
Thursdays, 11 am to noon through August 31.
Story times are free and open to all! Our wonderful Story Time volunteers bring fun stories to life and have craft packets to accompany each story them (and keep little hands busy). Find more details on the Page Ahead blog.
PACCAR is widely known for their trucks—but did you know their passion for education is as big as their big wheelers?
Over the past 17 years, PACCAR has partnered with the Seattle Mariners through the RBIs for Literacy program—putting books in the hands of kids who need them most. The innovative partnership has raised enough to purchase hundreds of thousands of new books for kids who really need them! And PACCAR employees have collected an additional 40,000 new books through workplace book drives—which are starting up again soon. Thank you, PACCAR, for supporting kids and reading!
