On Friday, September 30, 2011, Sisters Striving for Excellence's National Executive Board gave 650 books away through their partnership with RIF (Reading is Fundamental). Snapfinger Elementary students in the Pre-K through first grade classes received two books each. Math, multiplication basic skills, and animal books were provided to the inner city students in Atlanta, GA to help mature and develop them even more. The students were immensely thankful and extremely excited about receiving free books. November 18, 2011 SSE, Inc. will follow up with a second distribution and lastly in December giving an estimation of 1800 books!
RIF's mission is to motivate young children to read by working with them, their parents, and community members to make reading a fun and beneficial part of everyday life. RIF's highest priority is reaching underserved children from birth to age 8.
