A bit last minute, but here’s a news advisory concerning an event taking place later this morning:
Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott will join of Reading Partners CEO Michael Lombardo at PS 188 (442 East Houston) on the Lower East Side at 11:45 am on Wednesday, September 21st, to highlight the volunteer-driven early-intervention literacy program’s success in redirecting troubled readers towards the path to academic success. Already operating in California and Washington, D.C., serving more than 2,500 students with one-on-one tutoring in 38 schools nationwide, Reading Partners is starting up in their first seven New York City schools—including PS 188 – after receiving a $3.5 million Social Innovation Fund grant from the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation.
