OAKLAND, CA – On Tuesday, Highland Community School experienced the magic of reading, thanks to Books Are Fun and their ‘Book Blast’ program along with Ignite Reading. This wasn’t just a book delivery; it was an investment in literacy, as 462 students received their own new books through a student-driven sponsorship program designed to promote literacy. This ‘Christmas morning ‘- style event saw students unwrapping their literary treasures simultaneously, creating a powerful moment of shared excitement and discovery.
“Today was a momentous occasion for our students,” said Liz Noone, TSA at Highland Community School. “Witnessing the excitement as they received their own books is heartwarming. Thanks to the generous support of Books Are Fun, Ignite Reading, and the Imagine Nation Foundation, who matched contributions dollar for dollar, every student will receive at least two books, helping to spark a passion for reading and support their academic journey.”
