Freedom Readers Partners with AAST! STEM Scholar to Scholar This session at our Myrtle Beach Elementary site, we will be partnering with the Academy for the Arts, Science and Technology school in a pilot program called "STEMventors". Freedom Readers scholars will have the opportunity to be paired with AAST student inventors to collaborate on building their own inventions! This partnership between AAST and Freedom Readers will provide an opportunity for scholars to learn more about the process of invention and give their families an opportunity to learn more about the exciting programs offered at AAST. We can't wait to see what inventions they come up with! Stay tuned!

Congrats. Mai Dinh! We would like to recognize Mai Dinh as our January Gold Star Award winner! Here's what Mai had to say about her time serving with Freedom Readers. "I am a senior at the Scholars Academy, an academic program associated with Horry County Schools and Coastal Carolina University. I've been involved with Freedom Readers since my sophomore year, so about 3 years now. I joined Freedom Readers because I heard information about it from a classmate and my sister encouraged me to join. After my first day tutoring, I fell in love with the environment and continued to volunteer, and I decided to help more by making videos for the organization." Not only is Mai a dedicated tutor but she is an intelligent and talented young lady who will continue to accomplish great things!
