As usual, we are very grateful for our wonderful partnership with Minneapolis Public Schools. Since day one, our local school district has supported Start Reading Now's mission whole-heartedly. 

Today we attended a successful kick-off meeting with our main contacts at MPS - Daren Johnson, Marie Louiselle and Kaylie Burns Gahagan.

As a team we discussed book fair locations for 2017, improving media coverage and plans for better data collection. There was a buzz of energy in the room as we discussed the best ways to get more books to more kids this year (double the numbers we served last year!).

We're looking forward to next steps and all that's ahead! Couldn't do this great work without MPS' help.
