Dear Freinds and family,
Are you aware that almost half of New jersery's fourth graders are not reading at a proficient level? On state testing, 78% of New Jerseys low income 4th graders are below proficient. A major cause of this frieghtneing statistic is alot due to children not having access to books in their homes at all. Imagine if your child or a child you knew, was neglected from the gift of reading all becasue they are unable to have access to books! For every child, reading is very vital in their development in reading and education in general. No child should have to be left alone in a world where reading is considered a privledge, not a right.
Startiling Statistics:
To help solve this on going probelm, my English class here at Monmouth University this semester has paired up with the Bridge of Books foundation to help bring books to underprivledged children in need. This non profit organziation has made such a huge impact on the community already dontating books to over 275,000 children in New Jersey. Bridge of books has had such a postive impact on children, being able to touch the lives of many in the Trenton, Long Branch, and areas all over NJ. Our mission is to raise enough money to be able to purchase books to give to these kids that have such a strong desire to read. With your help and generous donations, we will have huge success in supplying these children with books that they can finally call their own.
YOU CAN HELP BRIDGE OF BOOKS REACH UP TO 1 MILLION BOOKS DONATED TO OUR LOCAL CHILDREN!
Even the smallest donation has the potential to change the lives of many kids. By donating to Bridge of books, you are not only helping children in New Jersey, but you are helping shape America's youth for years to come.
Please Donate Today!
Thank you,
Daniel Maida
