🌱Our beautiful raised bed in front of the office in Pisgah View Apartments (props to team members Traqoya and Cc for constructing and planting 🙌) is BLOOMING away with plants donated from our own gardens, , , , and of course, some compost volunteers! 😜

Right now we have tulsi basil, flowering to***co, amaranth, tomatoes, squash, and more growing! 🪏👩🏾‍🌾🪴

The World Cup starts today and we are NOT sitting on the bench. 🏃🏾⚽ Students can lose up to 2 months of academic skills over summer — a gap that hits hardest for kids already facing barriers.

This summer R2S is showing up with reading instructors across five summer camps, books, family events, literacy training and enrichment, and more! 📚🥳

Goal: Raise $10,000 by June 30. 🥅

Our final Tutor Huddle of the year took place last week as we covered end-of-school-year to-do’s and tutors picked up new t-shirts and student prizes!

It’s hard to believe another year is almost at a close, and we are so grateful for the incredible volunteers that showed up for hours of training and ongoing coaching, two sessions with students every week all school year plus Tutor Huddles, appreciation events, R2S community events, and more!

It takes a village to raise strong readers - students, families, schools, volunteers, partners, everyone - and we are witness to this every day at R2S. 💕
