What is March Into Reading?
Every March, our community comes together to support our families in making reading a part of their daily routines. Our goal is to ensure that Jubilee JumpStart children have the resources they need, in school and at home, to develop the skills and confidence to succeed in kindergarten and beyond.
This year we're thrilled to be offering both in-person and virtual experiences for our family, friends, and community partners to join in the fun. With your help, we'll all have a fun-filled month of literacy-focused learning!
