Celebrate Recent Graduates by Giving the Gift of Reading

Categories: Giving, Uncategorized

Cap and DiplomaIt's that time of year again - students across the nation are graduating from high school, college or technical school. For those with learning differences, these accomplishments are especially notable due to overcoming challenges that sometimes may have seemed insurmountable.

"I received a college acceptance letter in the mail today and started thinking. 11 years ago, I  was put in a special education classroom. I was told I was going to repeat first grade because I was not up to the standards of the rest of my peers. I couldn’t read. I thought I wouldn’t even make it through first grade. Now here I am, graduating high school and entering college with academic scholarship offers." ~ Kayla Bruni, Learning Ally member, college Freshman

One unique way to celebrate all those years of hard work is to give back to others. Honor a student you know by giving the gift of reading via a donation to Learning Ally given in your student's name. When you donate, we'll send an e-card to let them know about your contribution.
