Fabulous Firsts

Every child deserves an equal opportunity to learn and succeed. We honor the importance of reading in a child’s learning process by providing each first-grade student with a brand new, hardcover, ageappropriate book to keep, and we celebrate with a reading event at each elementary school. Fabulous Firsts helps to introduce students to the joy of reading, which serves as a foundation for their academic journey.

Each elementary school will host a distribution and reading event at which first graders and their families can gather, snack, listen to this year’s books being read aloud or sit down to read them on their own. For more information visit www.hefmt.org/events/fabulous-firsts/
