GLEAMNS Human Resources Commission, Inc. invited guest readers during Read Across America Week. This celebration took place from March 2-6. This initiative aimed to foster a love of reading, improve literacy skills, and emphasize the importance of making reading a fun and engaging part of children’s lives. Read Across America Week is an annual celebration that encourages schools, families, and communities to promote reading among children and celebrate the joy of literacy and books. We celebrated in all of our eleven Head Start Centers in the counties that we serve.
As part of this nationwide celebration, GLEAMNS encouraged Board of Commissioners, community leaders, and administrative staff to volunteer their time to read to our young learners. This event not only highlights the importance of literacy but also strengthens community ties by allowing local leaders to engage with families and children in a meaningful way.
“We believe that reading is fundamental to a child’s growth and development. Our commitment to fostering a love for reading is essential in shaping the minds of our future leaders. When we come together as a community to support our children’s early education, we empower them with the knowledge and confidence they need to dream big and achieve greatness. Every book read and every story shared lays the foundation for their success and our collective future,” said Dr. Ameca Thomas, Chief Executive Officer of GLEAMNS. “By inviting guest readers from our community, we hope to instill a lifelong love of reading and learning in our children while showcasing the support of the community.”
GLEAMNS Human Resources Commission, Inc. is dedicated to empowering individuals and families through various programs and services, education, family support services, employment, weatherization, food, utility, and rental assistance. Our goal is to enhance the quality of life in our communities through innovative and compassionate service that will help individuals become self-sufficient.
