Wednesday, December 11, 2019 11:30 am
Fort Mill, SC (News release) - Domtar Corporation is partnering with Classroom Central to provide and promote a literacy initiative funded by Domtar, and fulfilled through Classroom Central. According to a report from the National Assessment of Educational Progress, only 39% of Charlotte area third graders were reading at grade level. Reading at grade level by the end of third grade is the single most important predictor of success. Studies show that 96% of children reading at grade level by the end of third grade will graduate high school. To launch our partnership and to help foster a love for reading we are hosting a Truck of Books event on December 11th from 10am - 6pm at Classroom Central. This event provides 40,000 brand new books to teachers and students in the greater Charlotte area. The books donated for the event are part of Domtar's relationship with First Book, a nonprofit social enterprise that provides books to children in need. The Powerful Pages partnership will help ensure that new books get into the hands of children in our area through various book events that include:
"Domtar has had a long-standing relationship with Classroom Central since its inception more than 17 years ago," said Heather Stowe, corporate social responsibility manager. "This partnership formalizes and focuses our relationship in the area of children's literacy which is one of Domtar's central areas of giving. It also provides volunteer opportunities to our employees allowing them to give back to the community where they live, work and play," said Stowe. **********
