The Newark Literacy Movement
We all know how important literacy is by third grade-that's why I was proud to secure funding to support The Newark Literacy Movement initiative. We're thrilled to continue this exciting effort for a second year! I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Newark Public Schools and the Superintendent for helping to bring the gift of reading to our community. We hope you and your family enjoy this special time together through the joy of reading!

Guided by our mission and vision, we are committed to developing respectful, responsible, reflective, and resilient leaders who are prepared for lifelong success.
