Success Stories

“Our greatest strength has been in integrating the course work of Khan Academy into our regular programming and giving our members a voice in what to read, when to read, and how reading makes every other academic pursuit more accessible.”
“In literacy, we have seen girls become more lighthearted about reading, seeing it as a skill to brag about or be excited about rather than something to dread.”
“We hosted Rally to Read, which was a competition for who can read the most books. The top 3 winners could pick out a comfy chair to bring home. The top winner read 142 books, the second place winner read 111 books, and the third place winner read 103 books.”
“Club members visited the Audobon sanctuary to learn about birds. When the guide asked how our club members already knew so much about the Piping Plovers, one member proudly shared “re read about them at the club” and the guide was truly impressed.”
