Support for teachers inspires an additional gift from the Akron Community Foundation

Mr. and Mrs. Howard Atwood provided a generous gift to the Center for Literacy for coaching grade school teachers in the Akron Public Schools.

In this program, teachers are coached by UA Center-trained mentors on best practices to capture the attention of young children, increasing their fundamental reading abilities.
Inspired by the Atwoods’ gift, The Akron Community Foundation also made a contribution to further ensure the Center’s success in helping teachers and their students.
