The Suncoast region has truly risen to the occasion with a vision for collaboration and innovation that looks to the lack that many of our children are living in. Together, we aim to build a strong foundation for our children and families in order to ensure early childhood educational success. This past week leaders behind the Suncoast Campaign for Grade-Level Reading, as one of 20 finalists for the All-America City Awards, presented to a jury of national civic experts on the work being done in our region to promote early school success and equitable learning recovery.
The Suncoast Region was named one of the 2022 All-America City winners by National Civic League (this includes Charlotte, DeSoto, Manatee and Sarasota counties). To read the full column, click here.
