On October 27th, more than 600 volunteers visited every 2nd-grade classroom in Lubbock County to read A Bad Case of the Stripes by David Shanon to more than 3,600 students. Our 5th Annual United We Read highlighted the importance of students being grade-level readers by third grade.
Thanks to our sponsors Amerigroup, Atmos Energy, H-E-B, First United Bank, United Supermarkets, and Wells Fargo, every student went home with a copy of the book, a craft to go along with the story, and resources for their parents/caregivers.
