I have been working with Daniel Hernandez, the Read By 3rd program founder, and am truly thankful for all the lives this program has helped transform.

Read by 3rd is a volunteer-driven educational organization working to build successful families by giving parents skills and resources to help their children learn to read at grade level by the third grade so that each child can read to learn for the rest of his or her life.

On May 9 we are holding our annual fundraiser luncheon from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Hilton in College Station. Please help support this worthwhile program by purchasing a ticket for $35 or if you are a business a table for eight for $400 by contacting Jazmin Martinez at 979-822-6100 (checks should be made out to the Bryan school district).

Please check us out at www.readby3rd.org.

I’d like to thank all of the businesses and individuals who have supported Read by 3rd in the past; your support is greatly appreciated.

Hope to see you at the luncheon.
