Tuesday morning volunteers gathered to celebrate the enormous impact we've made across Memphis and Shelby County this year. Our results speak for themselves: our students are showing significant growth, proving that the consistent presence of a tutor can change a child's life.

Our hearts are broken. Brandon Clarke spent his last birthday with @ARISE2Read, sharing cupcakes with 2nd graders and reminding them that they matter. He wasn't just a Grizzly; he was a friend who believed in literacy and helping our kids. #BrandonClarke #ARISE2Read #Memphis

Believe this is one of the last times we spoke with Brandon Clarke. He presented a $1,500 check to KIPP Collegiate School last September through his foundation as part of the "ARISE2Read" campaign. A good dude through and through.

☀️Getting your students to read during the summer is easier said than done. The simplest way to manage what your kids read is to assign one topic every day. Staying academically motivated and critically thinking may be achieved by devoting 10-15 minutes daily to one subject.

In observance of Juneteenth the ARISE2Read office will be closed on Wednesday, June 19th! Juneteenth is the oldest known holiday that commemorates the end of slavery in the US. Happy Juneteenth! 🖤💚❤️

🛑What helps prevent the summer slide? 🚦Parents & caregivers should provide a regular schedule, plenty of opportunities for creativity, and a variety of stimulating learning choices will help prevent summer learning loss, so your child is ready to go back to school in the fall!
