Reading is Fundamental at Horton Elementary

During Family Friday, every Horton Elementary first grader received a free book provided through the Reading is Fundamental program funded by the Panda Cares Foundation. Each student received a book and a book bag. The students will also have two more reading celebrations where they will receive a free book each time for a total of three books.



The Integrated Youth Services Division coordinated the Reading is Fundamental grant and has arranged for EVERY first grader at 25 San Diego Unified School Sites to receive three free books and a tote bag this year. Thanks to Panda Cares Foundation over 1,700 students will receive books and be encouraged to read everyday. For more information, please contact Katherine Aud at (619) 725-7329 or kaud@sandi.net
