Hudson Reads

If you believe that if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem, here's a chance to become part of the solution to the problems of literacy and academic achievement in the Hudson City School District. Hudson Reads needs more reading mentors to read and talk about books with third graders at Montgomery C. Smith School. Someone who has been a mentor for the past two years describes the experience as "the best, least stressful, most laugh-filled hour of the week." 

If you're interested in becoming a reading mentor, there is a meet and greet on Wednesday, September 25, at 6:30 p.m., at 1 North Front Street. It's an opportunity to meet other mentors and learn about a program that gives community members the chance to help kids in a very direct way.
