Spend $47
Purchasing a $47 chair covers the mileage cost for a reading tutor to travel to rural Appalachia to work at a public school.
According to the James Still Learning Center at Hindman Settlement School website, 74 percent of children who are poor readers in the third grade remain poor readers in the ninth grade. The learning center plays a critical role in identifying children with dyslexic characteristics early and offering programs that enable students to "learn how to learn" in the public school system. Your purchase will help a tutor from Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) travel to work at a public school in Kentucky in the Knott County School District.
