2018 Read Across America

DNA successfully implemented a social change program that met its purpose to positively impact literacy rates by collaborating with K-5 schools and a delegation of high schoolers in four states on March 2, 2018, deploying seven guest readers to help facilitate a love for reading that impacts student achievement and lifelong learning.  In addition to the reading efforts, DNA sought to leave a tangible impact by donating books to the visited schools.
