We are partnering with Literacy Now to volunteer for Group Storytime at Betsy Ross Elementary School on February 16, 2024. These reading enrichment activities are great team building opportunities while providing 48 of our Reading Intervention program students (K-2nd grade) with a fun way to improve their literacy enrichment skills. Literacy Now will choose the read aloud book, help plan the activities, and assists at our event. Our IIAH team will purchase the activity supplies. In addition, our IIAH team will purchase the books that will be read aloud and given to each child to help build their home library. This will be "Valentines Day" themed.

Each volunteer is required to be Houston ISD VIPS Approved in order to volunteer by February 1st.
