FRED in Grand Rapids

Last week Project READ supported two spectacular FRED (Fathers Reading Every Day) events in Grand Rapids schools.

Forest Lake Flyers demonstrated their school spirit when 78 dads and 97 children showed up for an exciting time of pizza and story telling. A big thank you goes out to Grand Itasca for their support in purchasing the pizza. Dion Card of the MN Reading Corp organized the event.

The Cohasset Cougers turned out 85 people for their event just two days later. Thanks to Lake Country Power for supporting their event & to Teresa Greniger for organizing the event.

FRED encourages Dads to read to their kids daily. Research shows that when Dads are involved in promoting literacy, kids become better readers. Thanks to all those dads for showing their support!
