Reading Program Marks Second Shoe Presentation Celebration

Reading Program Marks Second Shoe Presentation Celebration

Last week, we were proud to celebrate another group of readers in the Cooper Steel Reading Program, presenting 263 students at Childersburg Elementary School with a new pair of shoes after reaching their reading goal of 1,000 minutes!

So far this year, more than 363 students have earned their shoes totaling over 363,000 minutes read. We are proud to help instill the importance of commitment to personal growth, responsibility, and lifelong learning through the Cooper Steel Reading Program. You can read more about this initiative and our first shoe presentation here.
