Even Start Family Literacy Program Partners with Verizon Foundation

The Verizon Foundation has made a $10,000 pledge of support to the Spring Branch ISD Even Start Family Literacy Program at Ridgecrest Elementary School in Texas.  The funds will be used primarily to build the program’s first Early Childhood Learning library for both parents and children in the program.

The mission of Even Start is to break the cycle of illiteracy and poverty in our community. It is firmly rooted in the provision of family literacy services to create long-lasting change and effective improvement for those families that are most in need.
