It’s FIVE FOR FRIDAY time!

Last Friday, we had the privilege of supporting Kinder College Day. KCD is an event, organized by College and Career Options, that introduces Kindergarteners from around Shasta County to post-secondary opportunities and a wide variety of career fields. Over 30 presenters shared what they do for a living and the path they took to get there with these students. It was a fantastic day hosted by Simpson University.

We were proud to sponsor this event and provide student string bags as part of our strategy to promote literacy. Each bag's QR code links to our Summer Climb Literacy Resources, available at reachhighershasta.com/communityliteracy. These tools are designed to help families keep kids engaged in reading throughout the summer. The resource page is updated weekly, so be sure to check back regularly for fresh activities and new opportunities!

Reach Higher Shasta's work uses a cradle to career framework. This means that we support students from birth until they step into a fulfilling career. Events like KinderCollege Day are so fun because we get to help these young ones discover all that is available to them in their future. Each of them are full of unlimited potential and learning about one of these fields may help shape their path through graduation and beyond.
