The SVA's generosity doesn't end there and the generosity in general doesn't end with the SVA. This year, they chose Boys of Steel: The Creators of Superman for sixth grade, meaning they bought about 70 copies for the about 70 sixth grade classes in the city.

Each year, they review dozens of picture books, choose one title for each elementary grade, and buy a copy for every classroom of that grade. The event takes place in Bridgeport, Connecticut, a city with a significant population of low income families.Ī group called School Volunteer Association organizes Read Aloud.

It's called, simply, Read Aloud, and this year's was the 23rd annual. On October 23, I had the privilege of participating in a special program that shows how nurturing a school district can be.
