Huge thanks to the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque for hosting a mini-regional meeting with our GLR Communities in Dubuque, Dyersville Campaign for Grade Level Reading, Jackson County Campaign for Grade-Level Reading, Every Child Reads Jones County, and SW Wisconsin led by CESA 3. We had an amazing day of peer learning and discussing partnership management and grounding the work in personal passion. We also had a surprise chat with CGLR’S great partner Vision To Learn.
