United Way of the Plains Combats Summer Learning Loss with Book Donations to Three Wichita Public Schools
WICHITA, Kan., Monday, May 24, 2021 鈥� Second and third graders at three elementary
schools in the Shocker neighborhood area received new reading materials last week.
Delivered by Women United volunteers, the books will be sent home with children to
help combat summer learning loss. The parental reading guides included with the books
encourage working with children to practice and improve their skills even after the
school year ends. See the story on the link provided.
