Burroughs Molette Media Specialist, Nettie Alexander had this to share about the ongoing success of the reading incentive program:  

"This week a total of 46 students were invited to the treasure box on Friday. The students are sooooo excited!"

Reading well is an essential skill that children need to succeed in school and in life. Christ Church has partnered with Burroughs-Mollette Elementary School, in Brunswick, to implement a reading incentive program for the students there. That program is already bearing fruit!  For those interested in becoming involved in this project, there are multiple opportunities to read aloud to groups, help with the AR testing process, and interact with the students in the Media Center. If you would like to help with this mission, please contact Sarah Kreimborg at  [email protected]  or 912-222-6960 or
