NEB Reading is Fundamental Distribution: Atlanta

Community service is at the core of our existence. We partnered with Reading is Fundamental for two consecutive years to provide over 3600 FREE books to under-privilege kids in the cities of Savannah and Atlanta, Georgia. With Jamese Beazer heading this project, we were able to bring education, joy and happiness just in time for the holiday season.

The National Executive Board provided the last 2000 books to the second, third, fourth, and fifth graders of Snapfinger Elementary. Each student received two books and the remaining were donated to a shelter in Savannah and an adoption agency in Atlanta.

 

SSE, Inc Update: SSE GIVES away 650 Books!

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.
