Read For The Record

Read For The Record at Dillard Elementary

On October 27th , Victoria Ranger went back to school – as a volunteer at Dillard Elementary School! Ranger participated in the worldwide Jumpstart Read For The Record event by reading “The Bear Ate Your Sandwich” to eager kindergarteners. Broward Schools had readers volunteer to take part in the biggest read-aloud event in the world.

The Dillard Elementary Kindergarteners loved story telling time! Especially after Mrs. Ranger gave in to read the story a second time, while the students ate strawberries and blueberries just like the bear did before going to sleep and embarking on his journey to find “the sandwich.”

Literacy Night 2013

Ranger Good Works helped facilitate over 800 book donations which supported numerous families with literacy concerns. This program provided plenty of books for the children and their parents use and build an in home library. As a result, FCAT reading scores are up by 23% in the third grade. We also heard that all of the scores are increasing tremendously! We continued this program with a surprise book donation from Pine Crest School which augmented hundreds more of slightly used books to fill a section of Dillard’s school library.
