Dear First Book Hampton Roads,

Thank you for all your efforts in obtaining books for our Motheread/Fatheread program.  They will go a long way to helping expand our reach in the public schools and beyond in the next fiscal year.  We just completed our best year yet with 31 programs in 11 Title I elementary schools, including 2 ESL groups and 3 preschools.  The fact that we are able help families establish a home library of excellent children's books while also showing parents/caregivers how to use them effectively with their children is what sets us apart from other programs and results in positive and lasting change in the lives of our youngest, most vulnerable learners.   Again, we can't thank you enough.

Best wishes,

Jeanne Devine
