THE GIFT OF READING Track 1

This Tzedakah Circle will mobilize our community around the pressing issue of childhood literacy. In the spirit of Tzedek Tzedek Tirdof, the Hausner community will partner with the Jewish Coalition for Literacy (JCL) to support underserved children in our community where educational inequities have grown due to the pandemic.

K-5 Hausner students (and their adults) will purchase books from the JCL wish list for the home libraries of JCL participants. During the program, students will decorate personalized bookplates and Hausner’s beloved librarian, Cressida Hansen, will guide students in writing notes about their own favorite books to be sent to JCL students.

Completed book plates & notes should be returned to Hausner on Monday, 5/3.
