Happy Service Saturday! Today we're focusing on Reading Corps! What is Reading Corps?
Reading Corps, an AmeriCorps program, engages people in service while providing a monthly living allowance and an education award that can be used for college tuition or student loans. Reading Corps tutors serve part-time throughout the school year at a designated host school, with the goal of helping every child become a successful reader by the end of 3rd grade. Interested? Contact Maria Bigelow at maria.bigelow@k12.nd.us!


Our statewide Coaching Specialist team traveled to Minneapolis last week for the Ampact Coaching Summit! Attendees discussed Reading and Math Corps program updates, research, and best practices. They also celebrated 20 years of Readings Corps! Here's to many more years of these great programs!



Applications for Reading and Math Corps tutors for the '24-'25 school year are still open! We are still looking for tutors in Fargo, West Fargo, Bismarck, Jamestown, Minot, Max, Sawyer, and Kindred! Take action and create a positive impact in your local community! Contact maria.bigelow@k12.nd.us for more information!
