Our 1st annual Read & Feed 
Summer Program in the summer of
2023 was amazing! 

Children from Oak Park, Gibson and West Oso Elementary Schools were invited, along with their families, to participate. For three straight weeks during the month of July, we gathered at Crossbridge Fellowship Church in the evenings. Dinner was provided for all the families and volunteers, followed by one-on-one tutoring and read aloud sessions. Our goal is to not only work with each child but to include their families.

We believe that getting parents on board with their children’s education plays an important role in its success. While the children were busy, we also had parent informational sessions. The theme was, “How to Help Your Kids Succeed in School.”  Every night, topics and strategies were presented to the parents so they have more resources to help their children have a successful school year. 

We also had guest speakers come and talk to the families about the importance of reading and how they use reading in their daily lives. We had a pastor, a children’s author, an officer from the US Coast Guard, and two leaders from Majesty Outdoors (a mentoring ministry for fatherless children) and a facilitator for Faith & Works/Faith & Finance-a ministry of STCHM (South TX Children’s Home Ministries). The children ended camp with a Reader’s Theatre production and received a bag full of books to add to their home libraries.
