As we coast into the home stretch of the school year, now is a great time to start thinking about how to make reading a fun, accessible activity this summer!

💡One idea: let your kiddo designate a special reading space at home. They can even make a “do not disturb” sign to protect the peace 😆

We did it! YOU did it!

We are so excited that we set two new personal S2A records tonight: the most money we’ve ever raised and the most donors we’ve ever engaged!

This was tremendous team effort. A huge thank you to our eight fundraiser hosts, and to our matching gift hosts, for being champions for our girls! We couldn’t have done this without you!!!

We had so much fun today at Elaine's Restaurant for Spitfire for Grownups!

Two of these events under our belt and we’re struggling with the silent reading part… 🤭 but we do continue to excel at fantastic conversations and enjoying delicious food and beverages!

A huge thank you to our friend Susan K. Flinn for organizing today’s event!

📣 If you missed this one but want to join the next, mark your calendar for June 7 from 2-4pm at Gustave Boulangerie! 📣

1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣,0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣‼️

Spitfire Club is celebrating a really big milestone — since we began in 2018, our Spitfires have read over 100,000 books!

We’re technically a reading organization, but here’s some Spitfire math: we have read with 608 unique children, which means that 🔥🔥🔥the average Spitfire has read 165 books with us!🔥🔥🔥

We’re so proud we get to build this beautiful community around a shared love of reading 🥰

Now … onward to 200,000!!!
