Our Youth Action Team members spent their Saturdays this summer helping run Newton Community Partnership's Ready, Set, School! Club — and Part 1 just wrapped up! 🙌

Thank you to every YAT member who volunteered their time to help younger kids in our community fall in love with reading. This is what youth leadership looks like.

Part 2 is already in the works, and we'd love to have you involved. Link to sign up is in the comments below! 👇

🔤 Alphabet soup was on the menu at today's RSS (Ready, Set, School!) Club! Our friends dug into letter tubs and cookie sheets for some hands-on ABC practice, then settled in for storytime with two early-literacy favorites — Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and Max's ABC. 📚 (Thanks to Bundle Up Bookstore for the last minute find of the larger size book!)

We can't believe next Saturday is already our last session of the summer! Come join us for one more morning of stories, songs, and letter fun before we wrap up. See you there!
