Students and families of Fair Oaks Elementary School (Concord, CA) turned out for a festive Family Literacy Night, the first of two Yours Humanly literacy events planned for the school. After Principal Amy Monaghan kicked off the evening with an enthusiastic welcome, students and families were treated to a variety of engaging literacy-themed activities and a light buffet-style dinner. We were happy to purchase and deliver hundreds of English-language and bilingual books for students to take home and for classroom and library shelves

The two-year Yours Humanly Family Literacy Night project is benefitting more than 4,000 students in ten Concord elementary schools served by Mt. Diablo Unified School District. This project is made possible through our Coloring Futures initiative and by a generous grant from the City of Concord. If you believe, as we do, that early literacy is the key to academic achievement, strong language skills, and lifelong learning, please donate today to help us continue to reach students in need with the gift of books.
