| Over 400 classrooms in 35 Title 1 schools had a Rolling Reader during the 2008-2009 school year. Almost 8,000 elementary school children were served by our volunteers and given a hard covered book. In addition, through the Barnes & Noble Holiday Book Drive, we received and distributed another 5000 books into our community. Your support made it all possible. |

Our Mission: To inspire children's love of reading, touch their imaginations and creativity through books and build a community of successful, life-long readers by providing trained, committed volunteers and new books to at-risk elementary aged school children. Our Vision: The Rolling Readers purpose and vision are very clear. We have a major crisis in our country. In the past forty years our society has become less literate, with the biggest decline occurring in those children already in the bottom half in reading test scores. This "societal" problem requires a "societal" solution. It is time for each of us, individually, to make a difference in the lives of the children in our schools and communities. At Rolling Readers, we are a catalyst for making it happen. |
| To all our wonderful volunteers: Thank you for all your time and effort. Enjoy your summer. See you in the fall. ~ Rolling Readers Staff |
| President Obama announced a new initiative to encourage service in America —"United We Serve" — and asked Americans of all ages to volunteer. "I'm calling on all of you to make volunteerism and community service part of your daily life and the life of this nation," said President Obama in a video release. "And when I say 'all,' I mean everyone – young and old, from every background, all across this country. We need individuals, community organizations, corporations, foundations, and our government to be part of this effort." |
