Fulton Literacy Council Newsletter
FLC Soars
FLC’s President, Easter White represented our literacy council at Fulton County’s T.H.R.I.V.E Conference which was held February 34-15 2020. Ms. White shared information at our booth and had over 50 members sign up to join this worthwhile organization. The board would like to take this opportunity to welcome each new member and look forward to the impact you’ll have on the growth and outreach of FLC.
“I have a passion for teaching kids to become readers, to become comfortable with a book, not daunted. Books shouldn’t be daunting, they should be funny, exciting, and wonderful; and learning to be a reader gives a terrific advantage.” Roald Dahl
New members browse the FLC booth at the conference and received children’s books and teaching resources. The board is excited to see the wealth of knowledge and experience our new members will bring to the council
FLC members participated in “For the Love of Reading event at Campbell Elementary School. Since the beginning of the 2019-2020 school year, we’ve accumulated more than 5 hours of volunteer work in various schools.
