“Stacie J.'s generous personal support serves as an important model for the community-based partnerships that are vital to helping kids learn to read, and to the success of our mission,” said John Mennell, Founding Director of the Magazine Publishers Family Literacy Project. “It is such an honor and a pleasure to work with Stacie to reach out across America to inspire local business support for teachers and other literacy agents in their own communities. Our goal to help them get the reading materials they so desperately need to help children learn to read,” he added.
