We are so sorry to let you know that the Explore & Soar Reading Club is closing permanently. The board of directors has not been able to find a way to continue after being closed since the beginning of the pandemic. We thank everyone who entrusted their children to us as we helped them become confident readers. We thank the children for their hard work and the joy they brought to us. We also thank those from Holy Spirit Episcopal Church and the greater community who supported us since 2008. Thank you all.

We are sad to announce that Explore & Soar Reading club will not be opening this fall. With the status of the Covid virus still being somewhat questionable, the board feels that we should stay closed for now.
