Schools....Learning to Read Helps Our City and Our Citizens

SCHOOLS: A statistic from the CA Dept of Prisons tells us that most states determine how many beds they are going to need in 10 yrs by looking at the states 3rd grade test scores. That makes sense.....if you can't read, you either get passed along OR drop out from school. Then you might get discouraged because you can't get a job. Then you might get desperate. Then you may commit a crime. Sounds like a vicious cycle to me....

What can Christians in Montgomery do to help our kids succeed in school? Reading is such an essential life skill. Ever thought of helping a kid learn to read or read better? Pray about it. You could be helping that kid stay out of prison. You can help that child learn to read the Bible! You can help that person become a productive citizen. WOW! Look at the possibilities.
