Local elementary school launches school wise reading program today | People

Principal Hall at Bell Avenue Elementary School in Sacramento launched a school-wide reading program today – just in time for Read Across America Day.

The school had a kickoff party where Hall presented an over-sized $5,000 dollar check from Name Bubbles for the purchase of new books.

In addition to the reading program beginning at Bell Avenue Elementary School in Sacramento today, Name Bubbles has launched its Giving Program for 2012, committing an initial $10,000 dollar donation to Reading Is Fundamental (RIF), the largest children’s literacy nonprofit in the United States.  RIF is a national organization dedicated to delivering free books and literacy resources to children and families who need them most.
