Dear David:

A fascinating story at an inner city school, year round literacy programs that kids are actually thrilled II attend. Kids Club is supported by The United Way & the YMCA to ensure kids have both physical fun & are cognitively stimulated XII months a year, definitely a great idea. The more excited & stronger kids are about reading now & maintaining a literary focus, the better they will be able II adapt II the working world. Not forgetting to mention of course the better they will themselves be as parents & they have to hunker down to make sure their kids are literate. Yes its great these literacy programs are in place, let us hope they never end!

Learning Is Never Boring,

Rory
