On a Friday evening in March, Yours Humanly hosted Family Literacy Night at Holbrook Language Academy, a distinctive Two-way Dual Language K\u20138th school in Concord, CA, where students are taught literacy and academic content in English and Spanish full time.<\/p>\n

Attended by more than 200 students and their families and led by Principal Sylvia Orellana with assistance from a number of parent readers and teacher facilitators, Holbrook\u2019s Family Literacy Night agenda included dinner, reading corners, story-based arts and crafts, interactive family games, a Spanish Tales short film, and book distributions.<\/p>\n

Twelve different titles were on display for distribution at the event, with at least three choices to take home per grade, K\u20138. Students who could not attend Family Literacy Night received their books in class. Decorations and prizes were donated by the school\u2019s PFC, and special guest Contra Costa Librarian Roa Lasalle registers students and families for library cards.<\/p>\n

This high impact Yours Humanly Family Literacy Night project, which will benefit more than 4,000 students served by the Mt. Diablo Unified School District during the 2023\u20132024 and 2024\u20132025 school years, is made possible through our\u00a0Coloring Futures<\/a> initiative and by a generous grant of $213,000 from the City of Concord.

If you believe, as we do, that early literacy is the key to academic achievement, strong language skills, and lifelong learning, please\u00a0donate<\/a> today to help us continue to reach to students in need with the gift of books.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
