Our mission is to give underprivileged children the opportunity to see or do something they would not normally have the opportunity to do.
Next is finding something to promote a chance to be successful in life. I chose reading because being a teacher in Title 1 schools I saw the impact these opportunities make in their lives.
Combining the two, Rewards with reading it is a win-win opportunity. They improve their reading skills they also feel a sense of accomplishment through reading and earning a reward. More than just a ticket they also gain a new experience.
Like the poem Starfish Story, I know I can't take or make a difference in every child's life, but it doesn't stop me from trying.
