Elementary students of Color in grades K-6th and families in the Iowa City area are invited to our first Books and Brunch reading event at the Senior Center.

981 out of the 2248 Black, Hispanic, Multi-Racial, and Native American students in the Iowa City school district are NOT grade-level proficient in reading (43%) — compared to their white classmates, only 12% of whom are not proficient. - source: iaschoolperformance.gov

Volunteers will help with book selection and reading supports for students and families.

This event is FREE.
