Project Description Country: USA Location: San Diego, California Total Budget: $3,346 Area of Focus: Basic education and literacy Activity Type: Education: Literacy Summary: Providing new books to students in grades 1 to 3 at Cesar Chavez Elementary, who are read to weekly by club members. This is an ongoing program, which has been in existence since 1988. It is the flagship program of the club's school partership activities. It has been recognized by Phi Delta Kappa, a professional education association, with it's "Kappan Community Award". In addition July 30, 2013 has been designated as "Rotary Readers at Cesar Chavez Elementary School Day" by the San Diego City Council. This year the program served thirteen classrooms, reaching over 314 children from low and moderate income families. Annually the program funds the cost of purchasing hardcover books, which are given to each student served. Teachers have told us that, in many instances, the books we give these students are the only ones they own. Funds will be used to facilitate the book purchase.
