Success by Third Grade: A Communitywide Movement
Our long history of strong partnerships and understanding of our community’s issues has led us to the front of the line to focus our expertise on the needs of our students and their families with Success by Third Grade.
Our Goal
With the help of our donors, volunteers and community partners, we’re working to put every child in Franklin County on a pathway to success by the time they leave third grade.
Why Third Grade?
Up until third grade, a child is learning to read. After third grade, children are reading to learn, or at least should be. If this transition doesn’t happen at this stage, a child’s future may be severely compromised.
