Madison4Kids is proud to announce that we provided Wright Middle School with a $500 grant to purchase a class set of books for 6th and 7th grade reading students. With the grant, Wright Middle School was able to purchase The Outsiders, Freak the Mighty and Pay It Forward, the Young Reader’s Editionto enhance reading and comprehension among students through engaging literature. The books chosen for students at Wright Middle School feature topics that students with diverse and difficult backgrounds can relate to. The young readers will be able to have a broader understanding of community and the idea and concept of “Paying it forward” in their community.
