The Literacy Project

✨ Thankful Thursday ✨
This Thankful Thursday, we’re shining a spotlight on someone who helps make every SAVOR evening unforgettable, Bart Zandbergen.
For the third consecutive year, Bart has generously donated his time and talent as the Master of Ceremonies for SAVOR, bringing energy, warmth, and professionalism to one of The Literacy Project’s most important nights of the year. His passion for our mission and unwavering support help create an evening that inspires generosity and changes lives.
Volunteers and community leaders like Bart remind us that it takes more than a great cause, it takes great people who are willing to champion it.
Thank you, Bart, for lending your voice to our mission and helping us open the door to literacy for thousands of children. We are incredibly grateful to have you as part of the Literacy Project family.
We can’t wait to welcome you back on October 2nd for another unforgettable evening at SAVOR! 💙📚

📚✨ Testimonial Tuesday✨📚
There is nothing quite like seeing the pride and confidence on a child’s face when they discover they can read—and even more importantly, that they love to read.
On May 18, we celebrated another incredible graduation at Bennion Elementary School in Utah. These young readers worked hard, built new skills, and reached an important milestone on their literacy journey. Their smiles say it all!
At The Literacy Project, we believe reading opens doors to opportunity, confidence, and lifelong learning. Every child deserves the chance to experience the joy that comes from turning the pages of a book and getting lost in a story.
Congratulations to our graduates, their families, teachers, and volunteers who helped make this achievement possible. Your dedication is changing lives—one reader at a time.
❤️ Together, we’re not just teaching children how to read. We’re helping them discover a love of reading that can last a lifetime.

🍎 Thankful Thursday Spotlight 🍎
Today, we are especially grateful for the incredible partnership of the Promontory Point Foundation and their unwavering commitment to helping children become confident, lifelong readers.
Because of supporters like Promontory Point Foundation, we are able to bridge the literacy gap, place books in the hands of students, and inspire a love of reading that extends far beyond the classroom. Every smile, every certificate earned, and every young reader discovering the joy of a great book is a testament to the impact of their generosity.
Together, we’re not just teaching children how to read, we’re helping them discover the power, confidence, and opportunities that literacy creates.
Thank you, Promontory Point Foundation, for investing in our students, our schools, and our future. Your partnership is helping create happier readers and brighter futures, one child at a time. ❤️📚 Promontory Club
