Photos: Community Member Gives the Gift of Reading
Many thanks to community member, Cindy Mongan who for her 70th birthday asked for new children's books.
Why? To give to the students at Williamson Elementary! Cindy's own children attended Williamson many years ago and the family has deep roots in Rancho Cordova - dating back to Paul Hagan for whom Hagan Community Park is named. "Reading is crucial " Cindy says. "A good reader has an easier time in school. My mother was a librarian and taught us very early the value of the written word. Reading is gift that keeps on giving."
Students at Williamson who participate in our Community Readers program, got to choose a book (and plush toy) with Cindy and her husband Kevin present. Every student in Community Readers not only gets a volunteer reading tutor, they get books to keep. Interested in learning more about this program or ways to get involved?
