#Community Helping #Community for #REAL

This is The REAL Program. This is about helping people with literacy, support, care and friendship. This is about #community helping #community. 

Jan ask to write a few words that stated why do I send my kids to real?


REAL have many meaning to my family, means hope, future, foundation, and caring. I have been sending my Daughter for the pass few years and this year my son also started to attend. Real is  were the family hope is created. Real created hope for a family that could not even image that could be possible. Real makes the future seems reachable and not impossible. Real create the foundation for my family to stand on for the rest of their   life also and change their destination to a better life. Real inspirers your children in learning and develop a love for reading.  Real cares in the community that every individual child can be or want to be anybody or anything with out any limitation no matter whom or what you are and look like.

THANK YOU CLARKE SCHOOL, SWAMPSCOTT

Words are important!

Vocabulary is important! 

Reading is important! 

Communication is important! 

Community is important!
Joined by #REAL volunteer #Sophiakennedy, #swampscotthighschoolsenior, I had the distinct pleasure of reading "Whoever You Are" by Mem Fox to a very engaged audience of fourth graders today. These children feel and know how lucky they are to have #books, library visits with family, opportunities to learn and play and build community. They want to help others and they want to make a difference! 
Well, fourth graders! You made a difference in my day today for #REAL! THANK YOU!
