Lead to Read KC is pleased to partner with local children’s therapist and author Vladimir Sainte for a second year. The goal of our partnership, which includes author visits and sharing Vladimir’s books with our students and teaching partners, is to promote self-esteem and coping skills among students.
At Lead to Read KC’s Lunch & Learn event, Susan Pinne of TraumaSmart shares insights on how trauma affects student learning—and how to help students succeed.
Michael Lee, a Hallmark artist, became a Lead to Read KC Reading Mentor at Longfellow Elementary in 2018. Michael’s daughter London was inspired by his volunteerism, and she too wanted to help students in our program.
